I was sad to learn that the Supreme Court threw out a large employment discrimination class-action suit against Wal-Mart that had sought billions of dollars on behalf of as many as 1.5 million female workers.

The lawsuit claimed that Wal-Mart’s policies and practices led to countless discriminatory decisions over pay and promotions.

The court vote was 5-4, meaning all the justices voted. Shame on Justice Antonin Scalia for not recusing himself as his son, Eugene, is a lawyer for Wal-Mart. Instead, Justice Scalia wrote for the majority on the vote.
