Daniel, you are a lawyer, a retired jurist in your own right, an institutionalist, and think in terms of he law and precedent.
But we are faced with an unprecedented scoff law and a supreme court that supports the scoff law..
All is temporary until decided by SCOTUS, and we have the history of this Supreme Court to forecast their decisions.
I doubt that there is a betting parlay in Vegas featuring SCOTUS, because only a fool would vote for the defendant. If SCOTUS agees with the lower court ruling ,which is conservative, they refuse to take the case, if it is a case that they wish to set as rock solid precedent like Presidental Immunity, they will take the case.
Are you saying that Tanya Chutkan lacked discretion. Here I thought that a judge was all about discretion. If they don't have discretion then we don't need judges just automatons, AI.
1. Discretion -- "clear and convincing" is not the same as "preponderence." Judges can't rule if the plaintiffs don't bring actual evidence. Can't grant a TRO on the pleadings. In antideluvian time, the lawyers had to verrify, under oath, the pleadings. Who are the actual witnesses?
2. In the actiual case on the merits she has to take testimopny and give both sides due process before she rules.

Baloney. As usual the media dolesn't understand the procedure. Without evidence the judge lacked discretion.

It's not a done deal. The judge is open to the plaintiffs returning with facts that will lead to a ruling against Musk.
I am only a layman, but so far she has ruled in favor of the plaintiff's, to me that is a tell. She didn't have to, and should not
