Howe's case was a joke. Ask yourself, if it had merit, why was Howe representing himself? "He who represents himself has a fool for a client."

Especially when suing rich, important institutions.

A big law firm won't let a new lawyer do anything in court but carry the briefcase of lead counsel. It takes years to learn how to handle a complex civil case, and it's very hard to do without teams of co-counsel.

He was outclassed before he started. And his pleadings sucked.

Not to mention that, as I stated when the case started, he did not state a cause of action.

Here's what I said about Howe's case when it was filed:

I said it would be dismissed on grounds of sovereign immunity and discretionary function, and that you can't sue the government for public policy decisions. And that's what the judge did. Imagine my surprise.;^)

Here's the opinion:
