An Obscure, piece of news, overlooked, by the fearful and panicky!
However, it is news, which coincides with the overall major theme. That is to say, that the Federal Courts will rule on the "law".
06/10/98 WISCONSIN: Judge: State Can' T Participate In Rock County Tobacco Lawsuit Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune Wisconsin officials cannot join a Janesville couple' s lawsuit suing the tobacco industry for illness caused by smoking, a federal judge ruled Wednesday. State officials failed to prove the couple represented a class of people who have been harmed by smoking and thus cannot be part of the lawsuit, U.S. District Judge BARBARA CRABB ruled. ------ Of course, this decision, is consistent, with the important recent Ohio Supreme court, and Pennsylvania Federal court rulings against, class actions, and a third party presenting itself in the shoes of the plaintiff.
No pain, Rocky, no pain !
