The Supreme Court said the 11th Circuit Court was right. The 11th Circuit Court said Judge Strom was right. Judge Strom correctly pointed out that the jury was wrong. The Plaintiffs did not satisfy their burden of proof of market manipulation.
The Aberdeen, SD case will see the same fate because baseless allegations do not win court cases. FACTS DO! The plaintiffs are not fact providers. They are blamers.

The 11th Circuit has shown that it is not facts that rule in their circuit, and it is not the collective decision of 12 people. It is a few appellate judges who have put their own faulty legal and economic reasoning above the literal interpretation of the law instead of allowing members of the jury to decide.
The London case was the same. The jury was not allowed to decide the facts in that case either---the judge put additional burdens made up by the 11th circuit after the trial was over and all the witnesses, lawyers, and jury were home.

It is becoming increasingly concerning that the current political leaders are taking campaign contributions from corporate defendants (funneled as they are) who have cases the federal courts where the politically appointed judges are overturning jury verdicts and the law is being made from the bench in favor of these corporate defendants.
{Econ, what is your basis for this statement? Please provide a breakdown of the "take" from "corporate defendants" by Democrats, and by Republicans. That is the least you owe us after making such a statement.}

SH, Sandhusker has a question for you and your limited knowledge of what exactly happened and your mischaracterization of the facts:
SH, "The Supreme Court said the 11th Circuit Court was right."
Really? Could you post their comments so we all can see what they said? I'd hate to have somebody accuse of you of intending to mislead.
