Compare our appellate briefs to the district court decision and judge for yourself. Is it an $8M settlement when the class is paid at most $1.1M? https://t.co/1nXg4LVrrN — 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

@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

@thefartingchimp In California, alimony lasts as long as the divorce litigation. Also in California, a spouse with a much higher income has to pay for both sides’ lawyers. Solve for the equilibrium. — PolitiTweet.org

Thing is, *if* Adams is engaging in a bankshot, he can’t publicly admit it, because it would get used against him in the divorce litigation. So we’ll never know (unless there’s a public court order accusing him of it, but if it’s that lawyered, it’s probably sealed). — PolitiTweet.org

But if Adams has no prenup, then 52% of his marginal income is going to taxes as a California resident, and 40% of the rest is going to his ex-wife—and that’s not tax deductible any more. If he’s keeping just 29 cents on marginal dollar, why bother with income? (Corrected math.) — PolitiTweet.org

But if Adams has no prenup, then 52% of his marginal income is going to taxes as a California resident, and 40% is going to his ex-wife—and that’s not tax deductible any more. If he’s keeping just 8 cents on the marginal dollar, why bother with income? — PolitiTweet.org

(((tedfrank))) @tedfrank

Hot take: Scott Adams’s self-immolation that has cost him at least 80% of his income is really a spiteful bankshot to reduce the alimony he’d pay to his ex-wife. (Except I would think he’d have had a prenup, so p < 0.5 here.) /1 — PolitiTweet.org

We noted that the class attorneys attempted to evade 28 USC § 1712 by failing to call it to the court’s attention, though that statute controls in a class action settlement that includes coupons. The 30-page opinion doesn’t mention § 1712 once. — PolitiTweet.org

(((tedfrank))) @tedfrank

This settlement was a lot like the one in Redman v RadioShack Corp., 768 F.3d 622 (7th Cir. 2014) (Posner, J.), a case I argued. We asked the court to follow Redman. The 30-page opinion has time for a digression about Elizabeth Holmes, but doesn’t mention Redman once. — PolitiTweet.org

@joepatrice and @abovethelaw, “frivolous” has a legal meaning, and the Court did not call my objection frivolous. Please correct your typically sloppy erroneous story defending a coupon settlement where the lawyers get more money than their clients. https://t.co/qXShnXrzLS — PolitiTweet.org
