'What was presented to him from the internet influenced his decision by his own words."

No, it didn't. Legal opinions can be dangerous things when read by people who weren't trained to understand them.

Again, different case, same set of circumstances. Just because a judge writes something in his opinion, it doesn't mean (necessarily) it's relevant to his decision on the matters of law before him/her. That case was dismissed by Robertson because plaintiff's failure to meet the requirements set forth in FRCP 12(b)(6), failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted...

Whatever musings the judge offers up in addition to the legal reason he granted defendant's MTD, are just editorial comments.

Incidentally, in a per curium opinion by the DC Circuit, that dismissal was affirmed.

So are forged government documents in the hands of Federal Judges.
