Misleading advertisement?
If there isn't a law regarding this, then why the worry about whether this would succeed or not in court.

Originally posted by Leonhard View PostWell no, if they're going to fight this in court they're going to be making a case on some basis. In the OP of this thread there was talk about the language being used by Remington in their ad campaigns, but again, what law would we be referring to here.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

the gun manufacture knew their product was dangerous and even deadly, they marketed it as such, they specifically emphasized the military equivalence in killing opponents, blah blah blah...
Oh, and they didn't include warning stickers all over the weapon like ladder manufacturers do.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Terraceth View PostIs it even particularly common for the Supreme Court to outright dismiss a lawsuit? Because remembering, this isn't a ruling as to whether they should win or lose the lawsuit, it's a requested ruling that the lawsuit not be allowed to occur at all. Barring extreme circumstances, I would think that the SCOTUS outright rejecting a lawsuit before arguments are made to be improper.Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.

Constitutions, whether written or unwritten, are moral visions. This is why a morally neutral society can't exist. It's also why a morally neutral judge can't exist, he has to rule on some moral vision, whether it be his own or the currently dominant constitutional one.
This has implications, most of which aren't very nice. At the very top, moral visions that are not too different can reach a compromise, but those that are incompatible result in a culture war. And if you don't take some un-nice, un-'why can't we all just get along' paths, you lose the war.Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.
