Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 1086051, member: 652"] I agree it sucks, but Maryland ALWAYS had diversity in their back pocket when they appealed the lawsuit to begin with. Their 30 day clock wouldn't start until the courts deny their claims. Once Maryland couldn't get out of the lawsuit in NC it makes to much freaking sense for them to move it to federal court. In NC, state court judges are ELECTED and are all UNC/Wake/Duke law school alums. Why the hell would UMD lawyers want to try a case with elected judges in an area FULL of ACC fans and atleast federal court judges are appointed by POTUS and tend to be way more Conservative in NC than state court judge are.
