The Global Wire Network's evening broadcast opened at seven with Diana Walsh already at the desk, her co-anchor beside her, the chyron cycling beneath them.
"We are going to spend the first portion of this broadcast doing something we don't often do," Walsh said. "We are going to try to explain what happened today because what happened today does not have a clean precedent in American legal history and we think that requires more than a headline."
She looked at the camera.
