    Kicking Iqbal To The Curb

    DateMonday, October 26, 2009 at 11:16AM

    Perhaps Congress will do just that.  Considering that Iqbal allows judges to determine which cases have merit based on their own subjective opinion, I hope Congress gets rid of this decision. 

    The House Judiciary Committee is scheduled to hold the first congressional hearing on the far-reaching May ruling, which raised the pleading standard for most civil complaints, making it more difficult to keep cases from being thrown out.
