That is how he characterized the appellate court justices during the Valentine's Day hearing concerning attempts to overturn the judgment against opponents of the $3 billion stem cell agency. The hearing also generated rare televison coverage on San Francisco station KGO. The text of the report by Lyanne Melendez was straightforward and appeared favorable to CIRM. But images are what matters on TV, and those were not accessible to us.
The Los Angeles Times also carried a very brief report on its website late Wednesday.
CIRM issued a statement from stem cell Chairman Robert Klein. Among other things, he said,
“Despite the opponents’ efforts, $130 million in Proposition 71 stem cell research funding for scientists is scheduled to be in place by March 15th.”The opponents, according to press reports, also did not say anything that advanced their arguments beyond those rejected by the trial court judge.
