“IMO, judges have no backbone on this issue and are punting and making tenuous excuses at every turn. It's tooooo much of a hot political football for them... And as I said before, none of them have let this go to trial. The uncertainty factor is too much for them to do that which they believe the fallout or pressure of a trial may shatter their little balls...if they had any.”

I'm sorry, but that's juvenile bar talk. It's completely uninformed on both the legal system and judges, which is the problem with this stuff. It has a mindset that simply will not accept outcomes at odds with what it wants, so it mindlessly denigrates anyone or anything that yields those inevitable outcomes. Just like Judge Carter was the hero Marine until he became the traitor sell-out. That type of reaction says far more about the people who offer it than it ever will about the objects of their ire.

Simple Mindset? Not the case. I don't agree with the courts on their decisions not to let the cases go forward on the merits. They may very well not have the intestinal fortitude to take on the hot potato. As for judge Carter, I have never put him on a pedestal because he was a Marine, but I do think he shrank by not settling the case on its merits.
