t2, I am wondering if a statement made in a news article was correct; "if one state AG says no, then there will be no settlement". All I'm aware of is that the DOJ wanted to have one trial, and so incorporated the 19 state plaintifs into the DOJ trial. If for example there were one or two hold-outs to a settlement, it seems like they could simply drop out as plaintifs, so that the others could go forward with a settlement.

If it is true that one state could block a settlement, then the chances of a settlement being worked out in the next few days would seem to be less than 50-50. It's not so much the issues at hand, but there are so many egos involved.
