Also, I don't think the trial date that gets set is truly arbitrary.  I think it's set with other cases in mind, i.e., first-come/first-served, isn't it?  So if I filed a Superior Court case against someone right now, my trial date would likely be May or June 2011 - or even later, if there's been an influx of cases recently.  Just wanted to make that point.

That would essentially be correct, except that either party can motion to move up the trial date after pre-trial MTD's and MSJ's are done in some sort of important interest, basically, either side would have to convince the judge that it's in the best interest of judicial economy to move up the case, or the fact that someone's civil rights are being violated. In the federal courts (not sure about state in at least in this fact), a denial of MSJ would allow the party being denied to appeal it to a higher court, such as the Court of Appeals.

Basically, it's still an arbitrary date.

I hear he is now looking for a job with the Obama Administration. Why not, it seems like all the worthless "libs", communists, and generally incompetent already are there. What's one more among the group?
Park Safety Czar?

Nah, he'd probably be brougt on board just to make sure that "Barry" was always "Looking Good". Just having ole "broad butt" Greg standing near B. O. would tend to make him look good on a comparative basis.

Have to admit though that Mayor "Lardass" was pretty successful for a college dropout. Just think how much more incompetent he would have been should he actually have finished his course of study and graduated.
