Every other suit to date has been dismissed due to lack of standing. Why should we expect this one to escape that same fate?
There is that very real possibility but that particular card is usually played early in the proceedings. My understanding of the MTD filed by the government is that they were once again flying the “standing” flag since it had always worked so well before. Judge Carter could still rule as all the other judges have but his declaration to try the case on its merits gives me hope that he won’t do that. I guess we’ll find out on October 5th.
In thge other case on the east coast the judge was reported to be “angry” or “perturbed” at the way the government has handled their side of the case.
All this brings to mind the Randy Weaver trial in which the government did everything it could to hinder discovery by the defense. In the end, the defense didn’t even call a witness, relying instead on the obvious underhandedness of the government lawyers. In that case, Randy Weaver won. We can always hope for lightning to strike twice.
On a connecting issue: Id sure like to have Orly’s ‘Frequent Flyer Miles.’ She’s been back and forth across the country enough to have been in all 57 states.
Because of previous spineless and cowardly judges, that's why!!!
