SEATTLE -- The parents of a 23-year-old who was killed trying to prevent the demolition of an occupied Palestinian home have appealed a judge's decision to dismiss their lawsuit against Caterpiller Inc., the company that made the bulldozer that ran over her.
"He applied the wrong legal standard and ignored the facts," said Maria LaHood, a lawyer with the New York-based Center for Constitutional Rights.
Rachel Corrie was killed three years ago by an Israeli soldier driving a bulldozer. She was trying to stop him from demolishing a Gaza Strip home while the family was inside; though witnesses said she was clearly visible, the army claimed he didn't see her.

In the old days, a suspected witch was thrown into a pond. If she floated, she had magickal powers and would be killed. If she sank, she would be innocent (though drowned).
I suggest we test these bulldozers by having Rachel's parents lie down in front of them. If they end up flattened, then I would agree that they may have a point.

Right. Wrong constitutional standard, namely the courts have no power to dictate U.S. foreign policy. /sarc
Ruling here. I didn't bother to read it in its entirety, it's fairly comprehensive.

The "activist" mindset is one of delusion. I've yet to see a liberal "activist" that lived in reality.

How about suing the liberal Marxist professors who indoctrinated their daughter?

Dopey mom - bring suit against the Israeli who drove it - not CAT. Then have it thrown out of Israeli court too.
Dope.

The judge "ignored the facts"? The facts are pretty clear to most people. CAT vs. skinny, dumb person is no contest.

Caterpillar should counter sue the parents. They raised the moron who got blood all over their pretty machine.
