Always stand by the truth but my thought is,
The level of preparedness of NASA in this Petition as compared to 2013 on the face of it is commendable. A Petition over 25,000 pages must be meticulous. However, this is only if every page on that Petition matters.
The general Public do not give a dime about imperative legal principles such as admissibility of evidence, relevance, burden of proof, standard of proof etc etc. What they care is that there was evidence running into over 25,000 pages. I don't envy the Supreme Court. Damn if you do, damn if you don't. That notwithstanding, the Court should just uphold the rule of law. Either way, no faction will lose it's political base. But confidence in the Supreme Court will be seriously affected either way.
