[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well this is embarrassing:

Seems like some of these issues would have been addressed if they had filed a complaint.  Judge is going soft on them.  [/quote]

This is the judge giving Trump's lawyers hints on how to pursue the case.  Notice she mentions "injunctive relief pending resolution," which Trump's brief very notably did not ask for.  And she raises anomalous jurisdiction.  Bad sign that this judge is not on the up and up.[/quote]

I think you are overreacting a bit.  Between the original pro se filing and the nature of the proceeding, it is appropriate for the judge to give a party an opportunity to address deficiencies in the original filing.  This happens all the time, even when things are not such a mess (e.g., when federal judges issue show cause orders sue sponte asking plaintiffs to address jurisdictional issues like amount in controversy requirements that the court feels are not adequately addressed in the pleadings).  Even for a judge inclined to rule against Trump on this, it makes sense to give him an opportunity to correct deficiencies to create a stronger record supporting a dismissal order on appeal.

Trying to initiate a civil action without filing a complaint, when you are represented by counsel, strikes me as a bit more than a deficiency that can be corrected in a more typical case through an amended or supplemental complaint. [/quote]
