Oh boy let's give the judge a round of applause for violating his oath of office and state law. Regardless what the evidence would show, by law they had a right to a hearing. The judge should be overturned and disciplined by the appellate court.
Nope. The court had the option to hear evidence but no requirement to do so. No one's rights were trampled. The judge probably found the case to be frivilous. Not everyone is wedded to silly conspiracy theories.
