Today, the Supreme Court rendered yet another decision in favor of the business "community". You are hereby invited to take a look at the New York Times piece linked below. It is a brief overview, and it gives a couple of snippets of the opinion that would normally be difficult to contextualize by one who has not been to law school. What anyone can easily comprehend in this case, however, is the self-evident b.s.
As a great law professor of mine once said, "there are no apolitical decisions", and this is no exception. The court's decision, written by Justice Scalia, seems to make every effort to disregard this class action suit as far fetched, frivolous, and baseless. Reading the full text of the opinion will certainly be a joy, as it will no doubt be full of Scalia's classic bobs and weaves to avoid principles of precedent, history, and - let's be honest - the spirit of the law.
Further commentary on this decision must be saved for a reading of the full text of the decision. No full analysis of the case can be made from the New York Time article alone. In the meantime, please take a look at the original article here. Also, keep an eye on your blood pressure while reading.
