Too Big to Fail, and Now Too Big to Sue

That is what the Supreme Court ruled today. They basically said that despite the fact that Wal-Mart systematically discriminated against women in every one of their stores, the millions of women impacted were too large a group to be certified as a class for a class-action suit:
But Wal-Mart doesn't have to worry any more.

Justice Scalia expressed the Court's opinion -- which was unanimous -- that the class action suit was too large and varied to carry forward.
So the solution to avoid pesky lawsuits for real wrong doing, you just have to be so big that the courts will give you a free pass.

First the banks are above the law, and now the monster that Sam Walton created.

Stop the world, I want to get off.
