There is a hearing in the New York AG's case against the NRA that will be live-streamed at 2:30 pm today. As @teamtrace reported earlier, you can watch live here by entering the password 5216: wowza.nycourts.gov/VirtualCourt/n…
@teamtrace I would expect an update in this hearing about the attempt by an NRA member, Frank Tait, to intervene in the suit in opposition to the current NRA leadership. That effort may be joined by some of the dissident board members including Rocky Marshall & Phil Journey.
This hearing is happening now. The Judge seems very skeptical about letting NRA members intervene in the case. The members' lawyers are making their case now.
The lawyers attempting to intervene say the NRA Board of Directors is beholden to CEO Wayne LaPierre and isn't providing oversight of the organization. The NRA's lawyers are arguing that isn't true and the vast majority of the board supports LaPierre but provides oversight.
The NRA's lawyer says there are guardrails and there are outlets for members to make complaints against the leadership. Says individual members shouldn't be able to intervene in the case. The judge is vigorously questioning both sides of the fight.
A lawyer for the New York Attorney General is also arguing against the intervention by the individual NRA members.
"Litigation makes strange bedfellows," the judge remarks.
"Litigation makes strange bedfellows," the judge remarks.
The judge seems unconvinced by the lawyers arguing for intervention by two NRA members into the case.
