Mann is still in action? They just won’t go away will they?
He’s given a team of lawyers for free because he is a standard bearer for a large plank of a deceptive ideology.
He indeed did cook the books, there is no question. I’ve seen the data and methods and know that Mann and others were perpetrating a scientific fraud, And I am trained to see it.
But I am hesitant to dismiss an outcome against Mann as given because SCOTUS took it up which is disturbing given they turn away tens of thousands of cases each year that are more of substance.
There are also recent cases in favor of Planned Parenthood and against such high profile persons as Roger Stone. So it seems the Left is on a roll but ...
... but this is SCOTUS and not some penny ante corrupt lower court shopped out by lefty lawyers.
I haven’t reviewed the case and don’t have time but I would guess that Mann’s attorneys inserted some landmines in their previous case that would guarantee they had a shot at SCOTUS. If anything the Left has lawyers that know how to game the system but usually those with the means can get lower cases overturned on appeal.
The problem is the Left has practically limitless funds for their pet causes to sustain a network of Ivy League lawyers who are part of the judicial elite, and the judges know it and fall in line when called.
Fortunately, POTUS has been working tirelessly to reform the judiciary and is making headway.
There are so many reasons the Left need to have him impeached.
If and when he gets a 2nd term, SCOTUS will swing conservative and more circuit courts will as well. That should leave a couple of generations with a judiciary that rules on law not relying on clever twisting interpretative argumentation.
But mafia-type elements will always be angling to capture judges into their web. That’s the real danger. Judges need security at home and in public. And they need to be paid well so there is no temptation of taking bribes, Judicial IG offices need to be beefed up and empowered.
Part of the problem of judges is that good potential ones are put off by the corruption they see and the pay squalor compared to a successful private practice. The difference is between low six figures and seven figures.
There is very little that is more stabilizing and calming than a wise judge who sees clearly the issues and players before them. When the truth is on your side, it all falls to the wisdom of courts to see it and if that is missing, life and freedom become jaded.
