You're just a libertarian extremist, expecting justice to be rational

Well you have to admit that AP had a typical Libertarian knee jerk response to this decision, just like his Liberal activist cousins.

Sheesh when I hear, "big business" has won, I automatically hear Hillary screeching.

This decision does not give justice to only big business, this decision give justice and protection for samll business also, against the trial lawyer lobby.

Oh that's right, you and APBaer only want protection for small drug pushers as perscribed by the Libertarian platform, never mind.

I think AP's point, at least the one that I thought he was making, was that a similar upper limit of proportionality should be available to indigent small-time minor offeners as to the corporations cited in the article.

I, for one, think the U.S. lawyer-driven tort system can often degenerate into a sort of village soviet, seizing the kulak's illgotten wealth. See Mississippi, for instance.

I hope that's not too extreme a view.
