we are left with knowing only that the Judge asked MNTA to come up with a Memorandum of Law, i.e. a precedent. If MNTA can do this, they probably win.
In the strong sense of "knowing" - yes.
But I do think that there are some inferences of the judges request that are interesting - some stronger than others.
Would the judge ask for the briefing IF he already bought the jurisdiction challenge?
I like the inferences.
