For discussion of the legal field and legal news

Rules
  1. No editorialized titles. Fairly summarizing a direct link to a court opinion is allowed.
  2. Discussion of specific cases must either link to the opinion itself or an article containing a link to the opinion.
  3. Articles cannot be primarily concerning politics. Obviously laws themselves are written by politicians, and many legal cases have political effects, but posts must be focused on the laws themselves.

Rules for thee

I think the fact that SCOTUS isn't allowing the deal to go through speaks against the idea that the Sacklers are going to be allowed to be treated as though they are above the law.

They are above the law. They have been gutting the company prior to the bankruptcy. If anything the state will just create a new deal that satisfies the needs of the supreme court and the owners of the company rather than the people they have hurt. Sorry to say the article doesn't mention why the supreme court blocked the deal
