I just wanted to pop in and say this was one of the funniest and most informative OPs I've ever seen. Thanks for putting it together, The Warszawa!

I had no idea how badass Ginsberg was/is. :allears:

If it took a team of 5 plaintiff attorneys five years to get that 20,000,000 that is only 800,000 attorney/year which - considering the risk they get nothing - is reasonable.

Bear in mind they are fronting the cost of doing business for five years.

Most likely they had 4 losing cases to go with that one winner.

:psyduck:

You and I have very different definitions of the word "reasonable."

And "only."

Those were contributions from tobacco lobbyists - bribery implies they were illegal. The timing was certainly targeted, but there's pretty much no reasonable theory that would ban what happened there.

Holy gently caress how far gone are you?

I would hope there is some sort of reasonable legal theory that can prevent open bribery happening on the floor of the loving Congress.

I'm with Discendo Vox here. The purpose is to produce order, because producing universal justice is impossible with limited knowledge and resources, and order is a necessary prerequisite for fairness, which in turn is necessary for justice. (Also, you are wrong that as system that is not perceived as just cannot create order; look at the Soviet Union, China, or North Korea.)

Holy loving yikes, Batman.

This is some "Are we the baddies?" poo poo.
