Another reminder of the broken, biased-to-favor-business state of federal jurisprudence.
The problem with this case is obvious: the plaintiffs weren't injured by flying on Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. They lack cognizable damages.
So what does the 5th Circuit do? Throws the case out on standing and jurisdiction, further closing the courthouse doors to plaintiffs in unrelated cases too.
Just imagine if the 7th Amendment was interpreted like the 2nd.
