He left it up to us to study, as though it were a rubic's cube with one piece missing, how to respond in favour of Her Highness, the Royal Bishopess of America and Hillary's equal in at least every way....<br /><br /> There is no way to respond in her favour. So, and this is a serious question: Is there any hope or way that you see...and we must see with your eyes....that our position can prevail to the point that this judge or some appellate bench might pull this matter back from the abyss?<br /><br /> I have done my requisite three readings, so I am prepared for your answer, good or bad. We had a particularly bad day at St. John;'s in McAllen. Various of the old-timers, and some youngers ones declared that it was a dull, efficient service....with...you guessed it....no soul. Are we to be relegated to the back pews of Roman Churches when there is no North American Anglican parish within two-day's drive?<br />Thanks, as always for the kind patience of all.<br />El Gringo ViejoDavid Christian Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486433908063462273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-68939360433685789682014-05-23T22:58:41.080-07:002014-05-23T22:58:41.080-07:00Topper, there is no set time limit for him to resp...Topper, there is no set time limit for him to respond, but usually it would be within a few weeks. He may rewrite his tentative decision to include a discussion of some or all of our points, or he may say: “I’ve already covered that in what I’ve written.” At that point, the decision will become final, but there can be no appeal until a final judgment is entered—and that could take a while, since his decision requires an accounting. <br /><br />When there is an appeal, the appellate court will look to see whether he actually <i>did</i> address all of our questions in his final decision -- so that is his incentive not to ignore them.A.

Is the judge now required to address all of those issues, and give a point by point response to each one? Or can be continue to argue that his hands are tied by the Court of Appeals?Topperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14537239370392917165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-66468492925249746232014-05-23T07:45:31.440-07:002014-05-23T07:45:31.440-07:00No, Father Ron -- as they said of the Italian teno...No, Father Ron -- as they said of the Italian tenor who was asked to encore an aria for a record eight times: "We'll keep after him until he gets it right."A.
