He would still have to hear a summary judgement trial... And considering he granted TCPA...
Taken from Wikipedia
"A party moving (applying) for summary judgment is attempting to avoid the time and expense of a trial when, in the moving party's view, the outcome is obvious. Typically this is stated as, when all the evidence likely to be put forward is such that no reasonable factfinder could disagree with the moving party, summary judgment is appropriate."
All evidence likely to be put forward.
This means they have to comply with Discovery for a Summary Judgment. So I don't think that is in the cards.
Edit
Correction, to my understanding, summary judgment would happen when all evidence is on the table or if the defendants proved that there is no possibility of there being more evidence, since the idiots have said publicly that they are sitting in a lot of evidence for the right moment they would have to prove themselves liars to move for a Summary judgment.
Edit número dos
Of cardinal importance here is that, by design:
the judge had no discretion at summary judgment time: all fact-finding is done by the jury at trial, not by the judge at summary judgment (the judge only looks for the
existence of disputed "facts" to be "found").
So yeah, even summary judgment would depend on jury, not judge.
