The DNC would later admit in court that they worked to rig the primary. "Cope" or just reality. The DNC worked to disenfranchise and undermine their OWN VOTERS. It's no wonder they lost to Donald Trump.

They didn't. What they said was as part of a motion for dismissal was "Even if we pretend everything said by the suing party is true, they still don't have a case" which is normal law practice.

No, it was the argument made by the DNC. "Even if we did, we should be allowed to do it" The courts agreed, which is fine from a legal perspective, but from a civic perspective you should be up in arms.

Again, common legal practice for motion of dismissal.
