Just be patient today. I am a paralegal and very impressed he has already reviewed the pleadings and scheduled the hearing for today. We have no idea if he has another case this morning or what is going on in his office. That he worked this hearing in today is very hopeful (I hope).
We can only hope! I hope other people benefit from this entire mess!
This is URGENT, NOT a "normal" case. The whole US Congress and President Bush could come in on the weekend, and this judge can't take 1 minute to sign an order to reinsert the feeding tube, THEN he can take his time with the hearing.
This is a TRO, to my knowledge, not a preliminary injunction. It doesn't get any more of an emergency than this. I'm not too impressed by the judge's behavior so far. He could have issued an immediate injunction while he was considering the issues of the case.
