NOTE: From time to time, the blog will examine significant new cases as they are filed at the Supreme Court. This post is one in that series. Some of these cases very likely will appear later in the blog’s Petitions to Watch feature when the Court is ready to consider them.

Parents feel guilty about the death, are trying to “make it right” after the fact by doing what they feel is an act of love. Of course it’s not an act of love, they are using the tragic death of their son for political purposes and to hit the lottery via lawsuit, and I cannot think of a more morose, self serving act than that.

Now that GM is public property, maybe the harmed party can sue them when the next SUV causes a death, accidentally of course. The deep pockets syndrome applies, someone has to pay.

This is just so much liberal claptrap it’s silly on it’s face. Every time you cut yourself with a knife, sue the manufacturer, not he dimwit holding the knife. Nearly everything can harm, it’s the user that does the deed.

You point a gun at someone, pull the trigger and a bullet comes out the other end. The gun worked perfectly as designed. It was not defective.

Guns are not toys. You should not be able to sue because someone was “playing around with it” and it went off.

Ka-ching! There’s never a dull moment when a venal, corrupt sheister meets an angry and ignorant parasite.

No problem; with America’s crime rates so very, very low, we don’t need our courts for anything important, anyway.

Well, if people can sue gun manufacturers for things over which they had no reasonable control, I can sue those same people for being stupid. Their stupidity stands to harm my interests so I have standing.

But, the gun didn,t fail to perform its function.
In fact, it functioned perfectly.
Where’s the case?

The guy that runs scotusblog.com is a liberal. attorneys associated with him filed an amicus brief in the Hartford firefighter case urging the supreme court to screw over the firefighters.

Cert will be denied in this case. The issues have been resolved many times and the petitioners are simply grasping at straws.

It is why true conservatives need to push hard for the “Innocent Sellers Act”

The tragedy baloney that led to the Adames lawsuit in Illinois occurred eight years ago, when 13-year-old Billy Swan aimed and fired a Beretta pistol at a friend who had come over to play, Joshua Adames, who also was 13. The gun belonged to Billy’s dad, a Cook County sheriff’s deputy. Billy had taken out the gun’s clip before aiming it, believing that would make it harmless. A bullet that had remained in the gun’s chamber killed Joshua.

Sue Billy's dad. WTF was he doing with a round in the pipe. Its not like he's a real cop.

Cook County Sheriff Deputy's have IQ's of bricks. Since Chicago & Suburbs are most of Cook County, they have very little area to patrol and play policeman. They're main duty is playing courtroom bailiff in the Cook County courts.

And in the *olden days* anyone with enough money and a word from the right person could become a 'County Sheriff Deputy' so they could 'legally' pack heat. Once a month they would play bailiff -- 'supposedly'.
