IMO the FSC had a very good "burdensome" argument in regards to secondary producers complying in the one month they were given. The DOJ agreed to this extension to save themselves from losing that argument in court.
However, I honestly do not see what the FSC has gained from this "deal" other than a 6 week extension, and now their burdensome argument is out the window because it's members now have extra time to get compliant.
Not a good deal on the FSC's part imo.

Good post LadyB.
Let me throw out a possibility to you. Perhaps the FSC brain trust was looking at their funding and had real concerns. They were given an opportunity to make a play which I would agree pretty much flattened the burdensome argument, but the end result was they really pumped up the FSC bankroll and now they have the artillery ready to do war. This was just a TRO and ultimately we need these guys to be funded to go the distance. Was trading off burdensome for stability to see this through Court rulings worth it? I would argue it was, especially since its really 10 weeks before the Feds can come knocking. Even the largest secondary producers should be able to get their act in gear in that time, so the time period did in fact help and as a bonus they got funding. I disagree, I think this was a win.
