Judge hints at endless tobacco litigation

A weary #judge hints that #tobacco #litigation will go on until the sun cools and the last lawyer drops, in a brief opinion issued Thursday.

Or so it might appear, from this little parenthetical in the three-page opinion issued by Judge Gladys Kessler in the case United States v. Phillip Morris:

"It is perfectly clear from Defendants’ Response that the litigation challenging the Regulations promulgated by the Food and Drug Administration, Required Warnings For Cigarette Packaging & Advertisements... will not end (if ever) for an extremely long period of time."
