This entire saga has been so frustrating to watch unfold. Portions of the judiciary seem absolutely hellbent on denying court ordered financial restitution to the families. It’s not like Alex Jones has even put forward sound legal arguments. My tinfoil hat theory on this is the judges putting up roadblocks are doing it not because of alex jones or free speech, but because it has a connection to guns. They don’t want something even tangentially related to guns to get a win.
The lower court judges that have been involved in the cases have largely been fine and just, but once you get to the appellate level it has become evident how partisan our court system has become. I should note that the fifth circuit (one of if not the worst in terms of partisanship) has now denied standing in this latest appeal by Jones, so potentially this is all coming to an end.

I haven’t followed the case, are they Trump judges?
