What a powerful post. And it doesn't carry just the ring of truth. It is truth.
Your description of the appeals judges, in particular, hits a bullseye. I recall being stunned that they didn't analyze the case at all, just dismissing it in a pithy one-page order the next day like it was some frivolous thing to destroy a company, kill the U.S. market for a lifesaving heart medication and put nearly 1,000 American workers out of their jobs. Like there was no need to take a harder look at the case.
A lot of trial-level judges make dumb decisions. But typically, they get reversed by appeals judges doing their jobs. Didn't happen here.
