We each have our own approaches, abcd, and I appreciate everyone's position- there are quite a few of them on this MB.
IMO, Mayer and "Alice" are dating and he can bring her to the dance any time he wants to. You already know he's done it before, and "she" wasn't even invited.
I guess the differing views we all have are based on how we view judges and judicial discretion. We can discuss that all day and it won't matter much. We believe what we believe.
I think few of us disagree on the merits of WDDDD's claims and arguments.
So we shall see what we shall see. Friday brings the orals, maybe Monday the transcripted audio.... and then we wait for the written ruling. All good. Hope the SP moves up as we approach 3/9. Doesn't seem to be heading that way just yet.
