Noting that the articles were “babble” is too kind to them. Judge Adelman doesn’t seem to get the spirit of Daubert.

He concludes that here, Donoghue “seemed to regard plaintiff as if he were ‘veiled with images of incompetency.’?”

So Judge Adelman had her mind made up beforehand, it appears. A liberal judge stews in the bias juices of a hundred writings by liberal law professors and law students, and the result is predictable. Another layer of irony?
