so what happened? where are we at with this travesty?

Sullivan gave no indication on when he would make a decision. However, he's giving the parties approx 1 week to produce some documents he (Sullivan) requested, (WHICH HE STATED TO THE APPELATE HE WOULD NOT DO) so, this goes on for at least that long. THen we can assume that Sullivan will "review and contemplate" these useless documents before ruling. That's another 2 weeks, I'm sure.

So now, we're late Oct without a ruling likely

THe upper court clearly said "with dispatch" and I think even in legal terms, Sullivan is pushing the limits of that at this point. Sullivan mentioned it himself, as one of the last things he said, almost to acknowlege it now, so later he can state "well, that's my definition of "with dispatch"

I assume Powell's first instinct is to run this up to a higher court, but that will only delay the outcome even longer. Both Sullivan and Powell are not playing poker with the calendar. It's a risky move for Powell, one that I think she'll take.

Sullivan is cunning, as the big roadblock in a mandamus is that he hasnt "ruled" - The courts cant issue a mandamus against a ruling that hasnt happened. He's going to milk this out for every last drop
