Well done, sir. I never tire of hearing the Aitken Bible story dragged out again and again and again. What a shame if this is finally the end of it.

Chambers story (First box second paragraph) Barton’s wording seems calculated to mislead one to believe it’s the US Supreme Court he is referring to. Every case they hear originates somewhere–this one, he says, “came out of Pennsylvania.” If indeed he is speaking of the PA Supreme Court (which it turns out he is) then why state that the case came OUT of Pennsylvania? To my mind, the whole thing is a cleverly worded lie with an escape loophole in case he is challenged. Any respect that I have had in the past for FOTF (which mostly disappeared when I discovered they had an official statement on global warming–that it likely does not exist in any significant way) is now completely gone.
