"It will take time because of the case law reseach etc...."
That is exactly why I've been optimistic tonight, ie the delay.
You must be a lawyer. How do you take this delay? Do you think judge Whittemore is trying to run down the clock, or should we prepare ourselves for a BIG surprise?
Of course Whittle-more is running down the clock. They're all covering for each other. It's plain and simple CYA.
