I was telling people for the past week to temper your expectations. This judge will not rule in favor of Lake, and it will be appealed to the SCOTUS. Lake's team had facts and experts, Hobbs team had activist. Does Lake have "standing" to bring this to the SCOTUS?
"Standing is a legal term which determines whether the party bringing the lawsuit has the right to do so. Standing is not about the issues, it’s about who is bringing the lawsuit and whether they have legal right to sue. Key to understanding standing is that federal courts have specific jurisdiction over certain issues. As a general rule, federal courts only have authority to hear actual controversies, a term that does not include “political questions.”"
Does Lake have Standing as it is defined? I would say YES!

First to the state Supreme Court, I would think.
Yes, it would need to be appealed to the state, but I have as much faith in that as I do the blackmailed judge that ruled in favor of Hobbs.
