This is like that but in the best of ways.

this deposition by a lambda legal lawyer to exclude a transphobic expert witness with bad qualifications is just.

I have no eloquent way to describe it: it's 307 pages of someone with no qualifications leaning on his statistician credentials, being nailed to a cross over and over again until there's only metal left

Every time she says "and we'll talk about that more later" it's so intimidating and ominous I love it. Also the part where she shows her hand Columbo style how much research she's done like when she brings up a testimony he hadn't mentioned in his report and she's like "you sure spend a lot of your time on this" and he says "well, only eight minutes" and she says "actually it was twelve minutes, I've listened to it. Anyway—"

Oh so very satisfying

I was just gonna read a few pages into it and then skim over the rest, but then three hours later I realized I'd read the whole thing. She really did give the dude the Caine Mutiny treatment, and it was SO satisfying to read.

My favorite part is on page 189-191 where he basically tells her "just Google it" and she asks him why he didn't include his Google searches in his documents.
