Agreed. I consider this a victory, and quite frankly, limiting the trial lawyers and their efforts to serve as a furth branch of government is a good thing.

It is not as far as I would go, but we have struck a blow to the trial lawyers that they CANNOT recover from.

Yeah, because it's not that we would want to actually be able to punish companies for flagrant violations of the law or anything.

I mean, heck, if you're a Fortune 500 company, you should be above the law, right?

Today's affirmation (and I stress "affirmation," since this has been the law since 1996) serves to do nothing but further insure that big companies are completely insulated from their wrongdoing.

John Edwards and his cronies are not happy campers today.

SCOTUS just filed a decision against the economic terrorism of trial lawyers.
