His Honor has reduced Mark Steyn’s punitive damage award from a million dollars to five thousand. He should have reduced it to ten bucks at most. Mine remains at a grand.

I hope CEI can get some legal costs too. Knowing Mark and Mann, this thing will continue to go on, and on … But in the new political climate, maybe even demented judges will start to clean up their act in the DC court septic system.
I dunno, ten bucks just doesn’t roll off the tongue
like: one-million-dollars!
There was the trial in the movie version of QB VII, where the jury forman announces a judgment for the plaintiff in the amount of “One half-pence, the smallest coin in the Realm, for the value of the plaintiff’s reputation.”
Do you suppose the $1000 accounts for inflation?
This whole thing is an obscene travesty. 13 freaking years of being put through the wringer for a post that’s clearly an opinion is a full bore attack in the 1st amendment, to name just one helacous aspect.
I thought Rand’s comments about Mann were acerbic, though certainly not warranting a financial penalty of any sort. Not even $1.
I seriously do consider what happened (and is still happening!) to Rand, Mark Styne, and NR to a massive crime.
Any chance for countersuits? Put the burden on Mann? Though I expect you are all tired of it all.
