See, them being aware of this prior to ruling actually shouldn't have any barring on the case. In truth, the judge should have recused herself immediately as she fully well knew of the conflict of interest. As a matter a fact, there should be an investigation into her actions here.
I agree, but as I said, it depends heavily on the judge that decides if that was indeed a factor. If logic had been actively used, this whole process would have never started and even after it did, it would have ended by now.

That said, some judges will specifically say if the defense was aware of it and said nothing, it was not important to them or they purposely wanted to have two shots at a ruling by waiting to see if the judge ruled in their favor.

Personally, I think the fact she put a lot of weight on the CBA, and that was what her husband was a part of, it has at least created the potential questioning of fairness to the defense.

I don't think I'm important at all. My time, however, is important to me. So I'm particular about who I spend it on here.

But not busy enough or particular enough to stop making ad hominem attacks.

Got it.

She won't rule against herself. Pontius Pilate type decision , I wash my hands of this.... Now another court can decide but I covered my end and protected my husbands law firms Collective Bargaining Agreement...

I'm glad she denied it quickly. I don't think anyone was dopey enough to think she'd change her mind. Zeke's attorneys had to take this step in order to proceed to the next one.

Ignore lists are for the weak minded and exacerbate the echo chamber landscape that is emblematic of the worst part of the internet

Whatever the view on hardy has nothing to with reading a game recap. If someone can't help themselves from clicking on a thread, who really deserves the smarmy eyeroll?
