But there are 5,000 people who are part of the lawsuit, not 150.

The SOP for class action suit lawyers is to obtain customer registration lists to seek out maximim number of respondents to the suit. For example, I recently received a post informing me of the class action suit against Sears for a defect in one of their major kitchen appliances, a dishwasher bought 12 years or so ago. Lots of boilerplate blah, blah, blah, inviting me to join in.

They pushed that I MIGHT receive some compensatiin in the form of a 15% discount on a new Kenmore washer.

So that invite is lik getting mail from Publisher's Clearing House, one knows that it's a scam to garner subscriptions, yet enough people say "What the hey, why not... lighting does strike people."

So without seeing the actual terms described in this class action suit one can guess thar there is about the same ratio of hangers on vs actual damage claims.

Now, note that in my Sears suit it seems to me, Sears had offered to settle by offering the 15% discount plus legal fees, read huge windfall, to end the legal action. So maybe I was being solicited merely to pad the payout list of a deal already settled in the main. Scum sucking shyster lawyers in action, relying on the idds that no one will do the research to find out the lawyers record and payouts to plaintiffs. Great con game.

No. Jeff is correct about the NY suit. There’s another “class action” trying to work it’s way in CA.

I was once elected to be in a walmart law suit. But the issue being brought to court wasn’t one that applied to the department I worked in.

They just grab names of nearly anybody who might stand a remote chance of being paid a whole whopping $5.00. There may be 5k names listed on the University Suit, and there may be only 2 people who MIGHT have a valid complaint, or something close.

That’s just how those things work.

Yes, Trump quipped that he doesn’t like to settle. And yes, it’s opened the door for questions. There’s just as much possibility that there’s nothing to the suit as there is that something may have gone wrong. At the same time, he’s not going to be intimidated. How might that play out on the word scene such as the settlement between Iran and the USA???

It means he’s not going to let the USA be taken hostage by rouge countries. He’ll play hardball. Appeasement is exactly the reason we have the world problems that we do.

If the people fail to elect him, the msg I get from it is that the people truly don’t care about principle, freedom, and strength. They want to be raped by muzzies and have their wallets picked. They want safety over freedom and are willing to let go of their guns. Because those are the only options left under ANY of the other candidates.

You can’t have someone like Cruz tossing the constitution card when in fact, he has no legs of his own to stand on and is obligated to guard the wallet he sold his soul to.

Sanders wants 90% of your buck to give away to whomever he desires, while Hillary doesn’t care if you are deskinned, raped, and burned alive, to death. As long as she can toss her snobbish head over her shoulder cuz she thinks she’s the man.

I really get a kick out of people who don’t like Trump because they think he’s a bully. What do you want, a shrinking violet when Iran or NK aim a nuke in your direction? Do you really think if you shake, pee your pants, beg and cry that they will pull back the nukes?

Come on!!

Law suits in this political arena are meaningless. It’s simply a means of doing business. Most of us aren’t in business, or big business so to us, it’s a big deal, except it isn’t in reality.

When I was in business, I ended up being involved in several class action lawsuits. Some I responded to some not. In ALL cases that ended up winners, I won $hit!. Some useless discount on future purchases, or a dollar amount so small that it wasn’t worth the paperwork or postage.

It’s all a scam to pump up the numbers of claimants for the lawyers who make all the money. This so called 5000 number is just that.
