Of course, this scenario depends on the presiding judge not laughing the case out of court, so the probability of it actually occurring is miniscule.

Not really. It looks like they already judge-shopped by filing the federal suit in the Northern District. Odds of a moonbat judge there are pretty good, and the odds of the 9th Circus upholding it are also pretty good. And the Supreme Court still isn't a slam dunk for us, although it's tilted our way.

The best thing would be for the defendants to demand a jury trial if they are assigned a liberal judge, but with jury comprised of folks in the San Francisco area, it's likely to be Nancy Pelosi clones.

I'm not nearly as pessimistic as you are about this. C'mon, the state of California established emissions standards that automobiles had to meet in order to be sold in the state. Are they now going to turn around and say that doesn't matter? Are they going to prove that there was a better technology the manufacturers could have used that wouldn't cause any pollution, and that they intentionally caused global warming? Of course not! This lawsuit is just a political stunt by the AG to get his name in the papers. It will either be thrown out (I'll give that a 90% chance), quietly withdrawn or easily won by the defendants.
