I hope you are right Lurker.
The extreme length of time that has elapsed on these lawsuits is exactly why the public hates the justice system. Too much gamesmanship.
I fear that if Ira gets the Chair this week he will be able to use it to further draw out the entire process.
The lawyers need the time to stack up billable hours and the judges, once lawyers, are taking care of their own.....while while justice or the chance of it fades into the blur of the rear view mirror of antiquity.
