Law And Order In Flux
Thoughts on the current state of justice in America.
And related: Hockey-stick horrors. Unlike this piece, very few “news” outlets reported on the trial itself, or the revelations from it.
Sorting For Stupidity
Thoughts on the federal Leviathan from Glenn Reynolds. I’m hoping that SCOTUS striking down Chevron will ameliorate this, if only slightly.
Search-Engine Mystery
I’ve been doing searches for a couple months on “mann steyn simberg trial,” but very little new shows up over time, and it mostly links to articles supportive of Mann. As a result, I had no idea that Just The News had been (like almost no other media outlet) doing good reporting on it since the trial began. Does anyone else want to try?
BS From The FAA
They are grounding Starship until they are satisfied with the mishap investigation.
They have no legal basis for doing this. There was nothing about that flight that endangered the public, which is the only thing they should be concerned about. They do not do mission assurance, and SpaceX shouldn’t have to wait for them to reissue the license to try again.
[Update a few minutes later]
How thirteen different news outlets covered the SpaceX flight.
Make It So
Loudermilk may refer members of the January 6th committee for prosecution for obstruction of justice, among other things (including Liz Cheney).
Finally
A judge calls out the DoJ on their selective prosecution. This could end up helping a lot of January 6th political prisoners.
Lawsuit Update
We have filed our motion to reverse the verdict.
[Update Thursday morning]
National Review has filed a motion for reimbursement of legal expenses of a million dollars.
There is an article at the Journal about the case, but it’s behind a paywall, so I haven’t read it yet.
[Afternoon update]
Here‘s the Journal article. The reporter is a science reporter, not a legal reporter, so the tone isn’t surprising.
The New Vandals
Thoughts from Lileks.
A Pro-Free-Market Industrial Policy
What would it look like?
Not much like the current one.
