IS THERE A LAWYER IN THE FORUM? I am so confused by the commentary, I wish there was someone out there to confirm fact from opinion. Thank you.

When a judge or court doesn’t wish to hear a case, because they don’t want to make a ruling (perhaps because they are honest, and don’t want to become a legislator, or because they are biased and/or corrupt, and understand that they have no real choice but to rule against their own interest), they will rely on (sometimes very arcane) procedural rules to find a reason not to hear the case on the merits.
