All true, but if the judge has an ounce of integrity in caring about his reputation he won't want to be overturned.Tell that to the judge. His courtroom, his rules, his decision.

The judge's personal opinion, agenda, or weak sister mentality could effect the outcome here.
Waiting.
On the other hand he is a political animal.....
