temporary restraining order that has been entered against

You don't get to instruct anything around here.

This is not North Carolina, not South Carolina, nor Kentucky.

Dr. Waglan's deposition will be part of this

and I'm gonna take my witness's testimony whether the hell you like it or not.

Answer the question, Doctor
