...contradictions highlight the hypocrisy of Connecticut's lawsuit against the tobacco industry...
The reason, why today's refusal by the Supreme Court, is important, is that, a Attorney General of a particular state, DOES NOT wish to risk his personal career, with a pointed statement from the Supreme Court, ruling against the State with commentary about "...contractions....and ...hypocrisy..."
State Attorney General's will think twice and thrice about the wisdom of going against Consitutional violations.
This thread predicted that ...hypocrisy...and ...contradictions... would eventually be revealed, NOT by the Congress, but by the Federal Court.
This is news which , although has subtle implications, will be the prevailing theme for the tobacco industry.
That is to say, on appeal to COURTS, the COURTS will rule and provide the key ingredient for a favorable tobacco and (?other unpopular), industries.
Philadelphia and Chicago wish to use the States suits against tobacco, as models to go up against the firearms industry. I believe, that upon reflection, the AG's of States wishing to collect revenue, by suing manufacturers will re-evaluate there style of seeking reparations.
WATCH THE COURTS,
particular, the appeal currently expected from the Federal Appelate Court of Richmond, regarding FDA jurisdiction, and advertising.
