Because from all press accounts of the law it is ILLEGAL. The press account seem to say that Hudson must within 30 days:
1. Pass this on to another judge.
2. Remove Nifong.
3. Go on record saying he will not remove a DA who has hidden evidence.
There is apparently not a provision for him to issue a stay. BTW, this is the mechanism to remove a DA. The NC Bar technically at least can not do that. The NC bar can disbar, that can not be done by this court. So the two proceedures are different and lead to different sanctions.
There is a systematic problem in getting NC to follow the law in this case. This seems to be one more example.
If there is no authority for a stay, then the party filing will have to seek a writ.
It's the GOB in action. The Good Ol' Boys.
