A Nobel Mann?

Mark is in Washington resting up in preparation for the resumption of his trial at the DC Superior Court on Monday morning.

In the meantime, here are Ann McElhinney and Phelim McAleer with their dramatised reconstruction of the last day's events, including what Powerline's John Hinderaker described as Steyn's "bravura performance" of his opening statement. Simply click below:

For those following Mark Steyn's defamation trial, the 're-enactment' of his opening statement is well worth listening to. Steyn should've been a lawyer. Audio at the site.

"Phelim McAleer"

There's a name straight out of Dickens!

Uriah Heep comes to mind.

Great interview with Steyn himself recounting his court argument on the Heartland Institute:

Enjoyed the enactment and discussion quite a lot. Does a D.C. jury have enough honesty to decide for Steyn?

There are Nobel metals, Nobel gasses, but not a Nobel mann.

Does a D.C. jury have enough honesty to decide for Steyn?

My concern as well. Especially after Steyn's tormentor during the past week wickedly called Steyn a racist—for doubting his climate data.

One victory prefigures another?

Trials-without-end seems to be working out rather better for Trump than for Steyn. On Tuesday the former became the first man in history to sweep both Iowa and New Hampshire - and with over fifty per cent of the vote. Conservative Inc is a cause without a base.

Meanwhile, I had another frustrating day in Courtroom 518 of the District of Columbia Superior Court. In the exchanges between lawyers and the bench, there are breezy references to the coming appeal: “See you upstairs, judge!” sneered Michael E Mann’s lawyer John Williams (a reference to where appellate briefs are filed) after Judge Irving rejected an unspecified and possibly even non-existent last-minute witness.
