St. Rachel the Flattened loses in court again...

This had less to do with Foreign Policiy decisions by the White House, and more to do about how ridiculous it was to sue the bulldozer manufacturer, because Saint Rachel was a dumbass to stand in front of it in the first place...

But I won't wait to hear that analysis out of the 9th Circuit any time soon...

Consider how lame their case was that even the nutjob 9th Circuit rejected it! Would someone please post the picture of Nelson saying, “Ha. Ha.”

A federal appeals court panel (9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals) has refused to reinstate a lawsuit brought against Caterpillar Inc. by the family of a 23-year-old peace activist crushed to death by an Israeli bulldozer.

Excuse me while I pick myself off the floor

I am sure the family was just flattened by the news -— All their hopes of justice smushed like a bug, ground under the treads of the judicial machinery.

Looks like Rachel didn’t have much of a chance as a “red diaper doper baby” being raised by the cretins she drew as parents...

You mean if I take a match and light up the Corrie’s home they’ll sue the match company?

Sheer idiocy.

Now she will not swell the rout
Of lasses who are 'dozer grout,
Haters whom their brains outran
And their guts lie drying in the sand.

Cindy and Craig Corrie, sued Peoria, Ill.-based Caterpillar, which manufactured the bulldozer, seeking to hold the company civilly liable for aiding and abetting human rights violations — the destruction of civilian homes.

Stupid beyond words...did an attorney represent them in this? He/she should be disbarred if so.
