I would have “prefered” that Judge Carter had NOT hired this clown in the first place...a clown who appears to have at least TWO resumes.
Judge Carter is probably well aware of who this person is by now. Up to this point, he has bent over backwards to do the right thing. I reserve judgement until I see his reasoning one way or another.
I have the feeling that he is probably trying very hard to settle legal issues within the proper guidelines so that when he makes a decision, it will stand.
If he was inclined to dismiss, plenty of other judges have dismissed at the drop of a hat so he has enough cover to go the same route, but he has not done that.
The longer he takes, the more I believe he is trying to find the way to allow this to go forward without having it dismissed on appeal, which will certainly follow.
