    Oh my fuck. Aight well that’s on me for assuming they were twisting the lawyer’s argument to make him sound bad. I should’ve known he’d hang himself out to dry as usual.

      It’s obviously an overly legalistic and technical argument that doesn’t speak to the merits. But it’s an appeals case, you have to argue legal errors not factual ones. I’m not a lawyer and have no idea how likely it is to succeed, but I think “throw everything at the wall and see what sticks” is best legal practice, so I don’t see how this filing hangs him out to dry. It’s bad optics but I don’t think is gonna matter to anyone.
