Wal-Mart wins bias lawsuit

In another wrong decision ...

Wal-Mart wins case to stop sex discrimination lawsuit at the Supreme Court 

This is just breaking. Not a surprise that this Supreme Court would side with Wal-Mart, but, surprised it was unanimous:
The Supreme Court has ruled for Wal-Mart in its fight to block a massive sex discrimination lawsuit on behalf of women who work there.

The court ruled unanimously Monday that the lawsuit against Wal-Mart Stores Inc. cannot proceed as a class action, reversing a decision by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. The lawsuit could have involved up to 1.6 million women, with Wal-Mart facing potentially billions of dollars in damages.
The largest sex-discrimination lawsuit ever is blocked by the court, overturning a prior ruling.
