@daveweigel @mjs_DC Stern’s defense of the penalties in the bill (such as four years max for breaking someone’s arm in a robbery) is that they reflect lenient sentences DC judges currently give out. But (1) yes, DC judges are too lenient, and (2) they’ll be more lenient when the meximums go down. — PolitiTweet.org

I argued Williams v Reckitt Benckiser yesterday. The class will get ~$1M, probably less after claims audits. The attorneys get $2.9M. The headline calls it an “$8M Class Action.” And class action settlements are going to continue to be bad so long as reporters report fiction. https://t.co/vIrYSFA9kR — PolitiTweet.org
