He is an original source, as a person who saw the filings. Perhaps not unbiased though. And contra your statement, there is no reason to suspect that the DoJ's self-description of their filings would be in any way more accurate. (Do you trust the student's description of his essay, or the teacher's evaluation of it?)
- sokoloff 7y agoThe DoJ filing is an original source for the argument. The video above is much closer to hearsay than to an original source. I would no more (and no less) accept hearsay as original testimony from counsel on either side of the case.
- romaaeterna 7y agoThere is some difference between "testimony" and "reporting". One is law, one journalism. There are, quite rightly, different standards.
