I hope the judge throws it out quickly. This hotel needs to be built, and every day of delay hurts the Convention Center, neighborhood businesses, and Shaw/Mt Vernon Square.

Either way, I hope she dismisses JBG's suit - this thing needs to be built already. Does anyone have any idea when she might pen a decision? Is there a time limit? Has an injunction against starting construction been issued? Seems to me as though the WBJ article was saying the opposite - that the judge was unimpressed by DC’s defense of the deal.
