It might be impossible to get the decision overturned but I’ll bet any sanctions could be successfully fought. The judge might have been a little too cute for his own good. Who twittered, who texted? Was any of this presented as evidence? After all, that’s what is sought - definitive proof AND THERE IS NONE IN THE PUBLIC SPHERE.
Absolutely correct. Who vetted? Where's the proof? And yes, this judge may have been a bit too much of a smart a$$ in his decision. You known this is going to the court of appeals. Let's see how they treat it.
