Judge McKinney granted summary judgment to defendants, and remanded the state claims back to state court.
While this is a (wholly expected) setback, it actually puts the case in a good procedural posture. It splits the case in two, so that there is a second bite at the apple. Also, to sustain summary judgment, the seventh circuit (and supreme court) will have to assume the facts as plead, so our discussion will be about the law.
I expect that when I go to vote tomorrow I will again be refused.
What I need to do next:
file a pro forma motion for reconsideration.
