"So this ruling is actually a "victory" for Donofrio? I should've guessed..."
I didn't say "victory".
One of the two separate quo warranto claims Donofrio plans to make requires that a plaintiff show injury in fact directly attributable to a federal officer (Obama).
If the plaintiff hasn't exhausted all remedies for the injury, then a claim of injury in fact is weakened or can be rebutted.
The denial of this long-shot motion to reconsider locks in the injury to the Chrysler dealers caused by Obama's agent, the Car Czar.
By signaling that a request for writ of quo warranto would be coming soon, Chrysler dealers may have been trying to leverage a settlement offer in the bankruptcy case from Obama's team to keep quo warranto from happening.
I suspect that unlike Donofrio, the Chrysler dealers would have preferred a monetary settlement without quo warranto to one that was negotiated only after a messy, risky quo warranto filing.
That didn't happen, so now the path may be clear for Donofrio's quo warranto in DC as the next leverage point to gain a monetary settlement for his clients.
The leverage is that Obama may want to settle rather than have even more independent voters become knowledgeable about Obama's refusal to release his original HI vital records and the implication that he is hiding potential ineligibility.

The denial of this long-shot motion to reconsider locks in the injury to the Chrysler dealers caused by Obama's agent, the Car Czar.I see this now. I was mistaken about the nature of this specific case, confusing it with an eligibility case, which this one technically wasn't.
