The Judge can rule at any time. Nothing stands in her way now, Judge Collyer cleared the way, and affirmed that Judge Walrath has the jurisdiction. THJMW has had a year to consider this, and all the evidence in the world, a trial would be redundant in light of the fact that it wouldn't be a jury trial, it would just be the same arguments, from the same people, decided by the same judge.
It's a simple psychological ploy to make a declarative statement, a tactic to convince someone that your position is fact and a foregone conclusion. Doesn't make it so.
No one knows what the Judge will do at this point, no one but the judge herself.
So we wait.
