...only a simplistic and unfair characterization, but it is out of step with those that have taken a serious look at the problems the industry is facing. It also ignores the simple fact that stealing is, as Harvard’s own Justice Breyer put it, “garden variety theft.” One thing we all can agree on is the desire for the lawsuits to go away.

Third, at least five justices - John Paul Stevens, David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Steven Breyer and, believe it or not, Anthony Kennedy - have suggested in past opinions that they won't deny detainees access to the courts...
