Sometimes the actual law is inconvenient. The lawsuit is a sham, but sometimes SCOTUS must rule based on the law. and their own jurisdiction. We would be the first to complain if the Supreme Court stepped out of bounds for a decision we don't agree with.srothstein wrote: ↑Tue Nov 12, 2019 11:00 pm I guess I am in the majority here, but I don't think SCOTUS was wrong in their ruling. I actually do not think they had any choice but to deny certiorari. The federal law says gun manufacturers cannot be sued unless they violated a state or federal law. The plaintiffs alleged that Remington violated Connecticut state law on marketing practices, at least in part by targeting children through the placement of their firearm in violent video games. The Conn Supreme Court ruled that there was enough evidence to conclude that Remington had violated the state law. SCOTUS will almost always defer to the state Supreme Court on questions of interpreting state law, so they agreed it violated state law and the lawsuit could go forward.
