    The other states don’t have to agree, or show their support.  They don’t have a vote in the matter.  This isn’t a bill that is going before Congress to be signed.  This is a law suit, and as such a Judge will determine the fate of it.

    If the Judge is just, then they judge will rule based on the law, not based on whether or not the case is popular or has approval from the states

    So again… yes it is a case.  I think in fact there maybe a case number…….

    The DOJ does not need any states to win – it’s just a good thing to have. This isn’t a decision made on how many are “yes” and how many are “no”. ANY state that sides with the DOJ is a benefit in helping to bolster support for the DOJ.

    AT&T will easily win the case with small states that don’t have any mobile service.  If 7 out of 50 states only agree with the DOJ, that is not a case.
