And that brings me to an interesting observation... (5) Any hearing which is required or permitted hereunder may be conducted by utilizing remote telephonic communications if the record reflects that all parties have consented to the conduct of the hearing by use of such communications and that such procedure will not jeopardize the rights of any party to the hearing.

I watched that hearing. I distinctly remember one of the court personnel messing with the phone while the parties were in chambers. There was even feedback from somewhere multiple times during the hearing.

Was the phone causing the feedback and if so...who was on the phone?

“I distinctly remember one of the court personnel messing with the phone while the parties were in chambers.”

Did all parties - plaintiffs and defense consent? Should be easy enough to find out if HAtfield, Van Irion or Taitz agreed.
