The Daubert test is a pre-trial effort.  If you pass, you can testify as an expert.  If you don't pass, you don't testify.  By your own admission, Dr. Taylor passed.  When he passed Daubert, it's a done deal.  Daubert is over.  For Strom to say there were Daubert issues AFTER testimony is an admission of a problem himself right there.  If there were issues, they should of been settled before and Dr. Taylor should never of been allowed to testify.  Judge Strom has made an erroneous judgement either way - either Dr. Taylor did not have any issues, or he allowed somebody to testify in his court that should not of.

This trial was a PSA trial.  Could you please show us where in the PSA wording there is anything about any legitimate business use?  Pickett contended that crime had occured and that forward contracts were the weapon in the crime.   What would you think if I robbed you at gunpoint and the judge threw out the case because he acknowledged the legitimate use of my antelope rifle that I used to part you from your wallet?  It's the same dang thing.

You support this ruling simply because it gives your big packers more opportunity for profit.  You showed what you were made of with your lumber analogy, you reaffirm just about every time you post.   Multi-national packer profits are trump in your world - producers be damned.  I'm not real impressed.
