Federal Court Judge Walker's soon-to-be famous "80 findings of fact" were hard to scan in their original format, so I removed all those annoying (though, no doubt, necessary) citations and have created a friendlier list.

I could offer my thoughts, but I mostly want to hear yours. What did YOU find interesting about these facts?
