Taxpayer Funded False Claims

[From article]
Mann is the Climategate figure sued by Virginia attorney general Ken Cuccinelli for obtaining state funding based on his “hockey stick” chart falsely representing climate patterns.
Mann’s hockey stick, like Gruber’s Obamacare schtick, was used for purposes of influencing public policy.  In the public policy arena, even false information merits First Amendment protections.  The cure for false policy information in our republic is the truth.
For his Obamacare consultations with the feds and various states, Gruber has pocketed nearly $6 million per at least one account.

Getting rich off presenting false information in the policy arena may be an American custom, but it should have its limits under common law notions of fraud.
