A delay can also mean Greer is actually considering the motion and looking for legal support.

Unfortunately, it takes time.

If you want quick, then he could say , "No, I already ruled." and let it go at that.

Doubt it. I just think the Judge is showing judicial courtesy to the Governor, in pretending to review the petition seriously. It would be an extreme insult if his verdict was returned in minutes.

Remember, he knows that bridges will need mending after this is through...Greer is covering his butt....IMHO
