Should the U.S. Supreme Court rule to limit or do away with consumer class action lawsuits? This LA Times article discussed only class action lawsuits by many claimants to recover small amounts of money, such as for credit cards, cell phones or cable TV; but completely overlooked mentioning big money settlements for class action plaintiffs. For example,  a Supreme Court Decision might eliminate (large consumer class action lawsuits against pharmaceutical companies) that allegedly marketed to consumers defective medications believed harmful. If the Supreme Court rules against consumer class action suits, pharmaceutical companies might largely benefit from such a ruling.
