Corrie v. Caterpillar DISMISSED by 9th Circuit
9th Circuit Ct. ^
| Sept. 17, 2007
Posted on 09/17/2007 10:50:58 AM PDT by Alouette
WARDLAW, Circuit Judge:
Plaintiffs Cynthia and Craig Corrie, Mahmoud Al Sho’bi, Fathiya Muhammad Sulayman Fayed, Fayez Ali Mohammed Abu Hussein, Majeda Radwan Abu Hussein, and Eida Ibrahim Suleiman Khalafallah filed this action after their family members were killed or injured when the Israeli Defense Forces (“IDF”) demolished homes in the Palestinian Territories using bulldozers manufactured by Caterpillar, Inc., a United States corporation. The IDF ordered the bulldozers directly from Caterpillar, but the United States government paid for them.
The district court dismissed the action under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6), finding it lacked jurisdiction because, inter alia, the political question doctrine precludes decision by an Article III court.

I hear Corrie’s lawyers charged a flat fee for their services.

I think the operator of the bulldozer should sue the parents of Rachel Corrie for emotional distress....

With respect to the 9th Circuit - proves even a blind pig can find an acorn once in awhile.

The court was not persuaded, even with the help of that Amicus Curiae brief filed by Aunt Jemima.
