You don't really know? Remember you read the transcript...sure you do. Here's a clue, I posted his statements to you more than once. Think you can figure it out from there since you are so in the know.
And neither do you. Once challenged you couldn't cook up a plausible explanation.
I feel like I entered into some kind of school yard argument, but what is the question?
Why didn’t the judge rule on the motion to dismiss?
Answer: Because he can’t. Opposing counsel is allowed time to respond.
That’s how it works.
Party A files a motion.
Pary B responds.
Judge rules.
If he rule in favor of the motion, Orly would appeal (I assume she knows this)...the appeal would be granted...and the judge would be back in this same place in a few months.
