Hearing underway in final challenge to new TIX regs, from @nwlc. Judge Young opens w/skepticism about whether student plaintiffs in the case have standing. NWLC disagrees. Young: "W/all respect, I find that very difficult to comprehend." Dismisses two accuser plaintiffs.
Young: "I'm disposed to consolidate" PI motion w/SJ motion. Says he'd be OK with trial w/in days(!) over the new TIX regs.
Judge Young: “This is very thin—and I say this w/respect”—how are missions of accusers' rights orgs being frustrated? “It’s not enough just to object to the rule.”
Judge Young: “counterproductive” to hold hearing for PI given the status of the case. Says he wants to go to trial on the merits quickly.
Asks two sides when they want trial:
ED asks for 45-60 days. Judge wants to know why they need this much time.
.@nwlc asks for a 30-day delay until any trial.
Court: contemplates a focused hearing.
Judge says each side will get a half-hour to argue in trial (which is scheduled for Wed. Oct 14 at 9am).
