Which Federal judges are you talking about?
One judge, alas, I forget his name, died in May/June 2019, before he could sign off. The next judge who got the case, didn't being working on it until she returned from vacation, in September/October 2019, and she reportedly started reviewing documents from the very beginning of the case. She also died in early 2021, or thereabouts, BEFORE rendering a decision?
I'm sure someone here knows better than I the actual dates when the judges died, and when a new judge was handed the case.
So ... Which judges are you talking about?
