This is the judge’s big chance to extract some rent from his position.

Probably waiting for payment terms to be finalized - jobs for his kids and such.

Guess Michigan are slow losers, Wisconsin got their money upfront before the recount would even start. Good idea if Michigan plans to continue. Looks like Stein is 2.5 million short. Too bad, snooze you lose!

If a judge makes a blatantly illegal decision, what kind of complaints can be filed against him?

Michigan has to pass a pending bill to get the lefties to pay for the whole charade in the next day or so. Their fee schedule was set way too low.

This leftist nobody judge is making the most of his 15 minutes of fame, he thinks he’s really something. This is probably the pinnacle of his entire life.

He said he'll issue a written opinion later. So we'll see what kind of law is taught at the University of Remulac Law Center:

“Updated. U.S. District Judge Mark Goldsmith did not immediately order the massive recount of 4.8 million ballots cast by Michiganders in the 2016 presidential election, but said he would issue a written opinion, possibly on Wednesday. Goldsmith hear 90 minutes of arguments on requests filed by the Michigan Republican Party and state officials asking that the recount be immediately halted.”

“Looks like Stein is 2.5 million short.”

Be interesting to see if the fundraising pops if the judge allows the recount togo forward. Seems to me, the judge is trying to find a way to give a meaningless ruling, punt it to another court.

He really does have to consider SC ruling on Bush/Gore. He stands to be embarrassed by a higher court if he doesn’t give the SC it’s respect.

He is trying to make sense out of nonsense. I hope the Republicans
Appeal what I am sure will be a bad decision.

If he were to stop the recount, he would not be letting these workers control while he plays around with this decision.

"He probably just got a call from Hillary."

More likely he's waiting for the check to clear through several false fronts.
