    Yeah. When I read this in the paper yesterday, before it was posted here, I said the same thing to myself. The corporation seemingly always wins.

    Just to point out, but it was a 9-0 vote that this case did not justify a class action in it's current form. This was a victory for common sense and against tort lawyers.

    The justices all agreed that the lawsuit against Wal-Mart Stores Inc. could not proceed as a class action in its current form, reversing a decision by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. By a 5-4 vote along ideological lines, the court also said there were too many women in too many jobs at Wal-Mart to wrap into one lawsuit.
