Disgusting I did not speak to the judges record, which is what you claimed I did. I said he was learned and respected as a jurist. Both of which are true. I don’t “review” judges, and no review by you or anyone else is going to impact a judge appointed for life. You obviously have no idea what is happening with this litigation. Judge Merryday gave Florida the opportunity to negotiate a compromise with the CDC, rather than just immediately dismissing the state’s request for the CSO to be lifted. The mediation failed. Now there will be further hearings and at some point a decision by the judge. Neither the CDC, nor the judge, is “dragging out” the case. It is proceeding in due course. Even if the state were to be granted injunctive relief tomorrow, the CDC would immediately appeal and the CSO would remain in place pending that appeal and a trial, neither of which would happen quickly. Meanwhile cruising restarts leaving the Florida lawsuit in the rear view mirror. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, at "many people believe that the justice system works in real life the way it does on TV". It reminds me of a case on Law & Order in which a veteran is murdered. They have the investigation, the trial, and the conviction. And then Lenny Briscoe and whichever partner he has at the time attend the funeral for the veteran. Yeah right, it does not take lots and lots of time for a murder case to go to trial. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same could be said of the six month stall the CDC did. The point is if we accept crappy performance, it sets the bar.

DISASTER What completely absurd assertions. You are correct that injunctive relief ordinarily is granted quickly. However, the fact that it was not should tell you that the arguments by the state for such relief were weak and the judge saw it that way. He ordered the parties to mediation rather than an immediate denial of injunctive relief in order to spare the state that fate. Questions of each side were based on the legal arguments and fully appropriate. You are just unhappy with the fact that a decision was not made immediately in favor of the state. If the state’s case survives any longer they should consider themselves fortunate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chengkp75 Posted June 14, 2021 #97 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Jimbo, the cruise lines delayed since the requirements were published in April 2020. If they had submitted plans, the CDC would not have needed "technical instructions", and the delay involved there. There never was a "requirement" for "technical instructions", it was stated that the requirements could be revised or amended by further technical instructions, but nothing stopped the lines from submitting plans in the first place. But, I've said this to you many times over the past year, and you don't want to acknowledge it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDC may say they have public health in mind but this is no longer supported by the science, but can still hide behind the excuse. The judge believes there is merit otherwise he would have tossed it. I thing hes giving the CDC the benefit of the doubt and really doesnt want to rule against them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
