Does this logic sound correct?
NYC has proposed rule changes in response to the case. If the case proceeds, a likely outcome is that some or all of the proposed rules will be adopted due to a supreme court ruling/judgement. Therefore, NYC loses nothing by letting the case proceed. The outcome will theoretically the same or similar as if there was no case (this is what they seem to be alleging.) So, NYC is not really harmed by letting the case go forward.
So, why are NYC officials protesting and requesting a stay? The outcome would be the same, right? If the case is stayed, the rules will change. If the case proceeds, the rules will probably change. So why not let the case proceed? They will lose nothing, right? Perhaps NYC officials protest and request delays and stays because these officials know that the proposed rule changes are disingenuous. To me it seems logical to conclude that the act of protesting or requesting stays indicates that the NYC officials are not being honest in their filings with the court. If this is true, it's patently disrespectful to the court, its traditions, and ALL of its justices. NYC should be held to account for this dishonesty. I now think that the case should be expedited, actually.
