In Las Vegas today, around noontime, a judge will decide if the caucus rules put in place last year will stand or fall.  If they stand, thousands of Union workers on the strip will have a chance to caucus; if they fall, we will have seen the first clear proof that the Clinton's change the rules to fit the circumstances - that they're more interested in winning a caucus than defending democracy.

What do you think about this court case - what do you think will be the outcome?
