first I've heard tell of it. I'll look to the death panel podcast to explain what this is really about. they always nail whats really going on with u.s. complicated disability institutions.

if it is a notable decision like you day i also look forward to hearing it on the 5-4 podcast.

"Immunity" was not the issue.

The issue was that nursing homes that get federal funds have to abide by certain special rules. What happens if they break those rules, does the government sanction them or can they be sued directly by the patient?

In some situations, the former is true (for example, you can't sue a restaurant that violates health codes, it's the government that acts to close them down). But in this case, the court decided on the latter.
