I do wish to point out yet again that the daughter was present at the oral arguments in San Francisco.

Do you think she drove herself there?

No, of course not. But given the distance from Sacramento to San Francisco, and the sheer enormity of the event, the mother simply can't be telling the truth when she claims that she didn't know about the lawsuit before the 9th Circuit Court announced their decision. Either she knew where the child was going before she let her leave with her father or she knew about it after the girl returned. After all, what eight year-old would go through a four-hour round-trip car ride and an appearance in a very imposing court of law without gabbing about it at length?
