Laura's Links

Death By DEI

Greetings one and all and welcome to this year's Purim issue of Laura's Links. But before we get to Purim info, there is reason to celebrate. Last week, we let you know that there was a nice bit of good news from the everlasting fresh hell of litigation that Mark has suffered from because of Michael Mann. And today, came an even more delicious update. Make sure you read the whole thing and also read some fabulous colour commentary from our friends at the Powerline blog. Right-O and Cheerio, and now we can go back to our regularly scheduled uppity Jewish Mom musings: The Purim Shpiel: Purim is often described as the Jewish Halloween but that's not really a very accurate comparison. Other than costumes, they are not very similar. The basic ...

Mann vs Steyn

Mann Ordered to Pay More than Those He Sought to Destroy

UPDATE (Mar 12): Court Sanctions Mann for Bad-Faith Trial Misconduct* From Judge Irving: "Dr. Mann's assertion that there was no falsehood or misrepresentation in his testimony or his counsel's conduct borders on frivolity." "the record plainly shows the deliberate and knowing misconduct of Dr. Mann's counsel in eliciting false testimony from Dr. Mann and misrepresenting his grant funding." "Dr. Mann's counsel's bad faith misconduct is an affront to the Court's authority and an attack on the integrity of the proceedings warranting sanctions." Do read the whole thing here. (* Yesterday, Mann's lawyers told the Court of Appeals that the motion above was "moot".) And, don't forget to tune in later today as Mark takes questions from club ...
