Re: SCOTUS Allows Sandy Hook Lawsuit to Proceed

I'm not a lawyer... but it looks to me that SCOTUS only ruled to not take up the case since it hasn't been through the courts yet. That is disappointing - because each court along the way should have tossed out the case against the manufacturer. However, I don't think it is unusual for them to not take up a case that hasn't been litigated.

If lower courts do later rule that a company can be liable not for the product, but the misuse of it, and that is not reversed - that will open Pandora's box of liability for every manufacturer to be liable for a product they make that is used and someone is harmed in some way. Every company in America should be afraid of this. So I guess I might be able to file suit against for McDonalds for them making me overweight. :banghead:
