The editorialists of the L.A. Times take a dim view of the "light" cigarette federal class action ("Wacky Tobacco Lawsuit"): "If Weinstein isn't overruled, his decision will be a windfall for lawyers, a disaster for tobacco companies — which already have agreed to pay out billions of dollars as part of a settlement with state attorneys general — and a travesty for the cause of due process." More here, here, etc.
