I believe audio streaming is available.
For a summary it's leftist Mann who filed suit to quiet criticisms of his work. But I'm not going to use any legal terms b/c Owl 69 will rap my knuckles when I get them wrong.

Steyn is a true mensch. Good luck to him.

My hope is that Mark Steyn is made Press Secretary during the eight years of the Rand Paul / Victor Davis Hanson administration.

I haven't checked in on this lately. Is Steyn still representing himself? He's been pretty reckless in his conduct of this case and I don't think that bodes well for his chances.

Steyn isn't representing himself anymore. He has an attorney.
And I think I got it wrong, this was Mann vs National Review. Steyn appeared as a friend of the court.
Mann didn't show (just his attorneys) so he's just filing frivolous lawsuits making others suffer. That's part of why Steyn has sued him back.

This is good news. Regardless of your position on AGW, Mann's lawsuit(s) look like attempts to stifle protected opinions. I would hate to see Steyn lose on technicalities when his position's merits should win the day.
