Couldn't find this at any other source (yet) but here's a synopsis: the district court judge, John Keenan, threw out the case, stating (of all things) that this is an issue that must be dealt with by the other two branches of government, not the judiciary.

This is the second case that was thrown out for similar reasons (the other one was in, of all places, California).

Yes, in reading a judge properly expressing the role of the judiciary, I was officially gobsmacked.

Wasn’t the other one the ninth circus, a completely unforeseen occurrence?

It was a district court judge there, as well.

Because it’s Israel’s fault - they have the machine that does it.

In our highly political government, anything associated with punchy, slappy, chokey Schneiderman is now damaged goods.

I was actually hoping this would go to trial so that evidence could be presented from both sides. It would have cost the defendants a chunk of money. But imagine getting to put the science on trial.

A district court judge within the 9th circus had a lick of sense. Don’t worry. The 9th Circus will get the appeal, and then SCOTUS will have to deal with it.

Left insists on a rigid separation of church and state except when it comes to this gutter religion. In this case, participation, tithing and morale are mandatory.

Cumo should have to pay all expenses associated with this out of his own pocket.
