> It's about giving over the documents that are requested by the other side.
Right, 100%. The point of contention is that documents that don't exist were demanded and those documents that don't exist are what the court claimed a default judgement over. This is per the court's own records.
> the parents could not see that evidence.
What evidence do we believe we are talking about here? If this evidence was never entered into the trial, why should us spectators believe it existed?
> the "consistent pattern of discovery abuse" (quoting the decision)
This here is what gives Alex ground to say "the court was on trial", in the greater context that an undercover journalist caught someone who works for the CIA on video admitting that the suits against Jones are lawfare. If you have not seen this video, you may not know how much information you are missing on this topic. If you dismiss the video because a particular group filmed the video, then we're not playing a game of mutually pursuing the truth here.
Throughout the entire process, Alex alleged a consistent pattern of discovery abuse on the part of the court. Deprivation of rights under color of law is a very serious crime that carries a 10+ year prison sentence. And yes, judges do sometimes have federal lawsuits filed against them for it.
> caused harm to many families
The other major point of contention, is this was never demonstrated in court, let alone meaningfully argued in court.
> He did this while knowing he was lying.
This also was never demonstrated. The court records don't show anything like this ; perhaps they show something like this on a procedural matter around discovery, but not anywhere on the topic of the supposed substance of the case.
> and is now getting punished for it
The other so-called echo chambers, the ones that don't have a shadowbanning and censorship problem, the one one the side that won the majority vote in the recent election, don't see it this way at all.
