27. Will, help me untangle this mess, help me to understand

I thought that the reason that the Kerry/Edwards team became involved with the suit was because the judge (Moyer?) was threatening to throw it out because they, Cobb et al, would not be able to demonstrate that the outcome of the case would not change anything that affects them (to paraphrase, and not very well at that).
Don't the statements that Kerry's lawyer made this evening give the other side the ability to ask for dismissal on the grounds that if Kerry himself doesn't believe the outcome will change, then what's the point???

Please help settle me down.
