The "rotten judiciary" meme is overdone. I remember reading a scifi story years ago about a Museum of Suppressed Inventions. You know, a pill that changes water to 100 octane gasoline. A small box that, attached to a belt, allows a person to fly like a bird. Time machines. Spaceships powered by cosmic rays. It seems more likely that bad judicial decisions are the result of ignorant, stupid, lazy judges than mendacity. What the Texas court did to us is more likely the result of a defendant with a gazillion dollars and judges in way over their heads and desperately wanting this case to go away. For if we win, all bets are off in the entire telecomm industry, with decades of continuing suits and perhaps a trillion dollars finally at stake.
