Should be interesting to read their opinion. The decision is over 170 pages.
The more pages, the further they must reach in order to justify their endorsement of a perversion of the system. I would not doubt that there is something in there about European law.
old lawyer maxim:
if the case law is not on your side then dazzle them with BS.
The saying is basically stating that you are more to fear from a lawyer who has a single page case directly on point then from the lawyer who has books and books (do they even use books any more?) with bookmarks of “analogous” cases.
seems like these california BS artists are trying to dazzle with manure for the USSC appeal and to be SOMETHING for other cases in other states.
