Here is a quote from Tom Roberts, today: The GPS demonstrates that the 
vacuum speed of light is isotropically c in the ECI frame, which is the 
LOCALLY inertial frame centered on the earth (so it does not rotate with 
the planet, but does orbit the sun with it).

Are you agreeing that Tom sprouts endless bullshit?...or is it you who does?

According to Tom Roberts, you are talking bullshit.
