The most brutal thing they can do is put him on the stand (or speaker in this case) and force him to explain himself. Not even for the fact he can barely talk either. There's a degree of separation when everything is in writing, but he'll crumble if he has to talk through his fillings because of his tenuous understanding of the law and people objectively judging him.
I actually think Greer talking through his filings will be his
strongest showing at the hearing. He doesn't know how the law works, doesn't want to learn it, refuses to believe it when it says something opposite what he wants, and can not comprehend proper legal responses to anything an opponent files. The only thing he puts thought into is his own filings, and those are the only points he'll be able to coherently talk about. It won't be insightful, it'll just be a regurgitation of what he's already filed, but at least he'll be able to speak.
If he has to
respond to anything Hardin argues, he will break down and stutter to a halt. You saw this in the scheduling conference, Russ couldn't muster a meaningful reply to anything Hardin said. He just repeated what he filed and agreed with the judge. His only ability to respond is to object to anything Hardin wants, like the 100 interrogatories, and he doesn't know
why he objects; he just objects because if Buddy Boy wants it, then Russ doesn't want him to have it. Greer could not recall and cite a legal principle in his own defense if his life depended on it.
So, there's 2 Greer motions on the agenda, and 5 Hardin motions. My prediction is Greer
will prepare a minimally sufficient, very whining recap for his 2 motions; and he'll "prepare" a single objecting response for each of Hardin's 5. If Hardin or the judge swats aside Greer's Goggle Scholar-suggested point, he's going to be completely helpless, reduced to whining about fairness and harassment. All Hardin has to do is get any argument into Step 2, and Russ will be completely lost.
