The New York Times Adds Its Voice to Caperton v. Massey Case

An editorial in the Sunday New York Times echoes the American Bar Association and other groups in urging the U.S. Supreme Court to review the ruling by its West Virginia counterpart overturning a $76.3 million judgment against Massey Energy Co.

The Times (registration required) opines further that the court should toss the "tainted" decision, citing the $3 million spent by Massey CEO Don Blankenship to help elect Justice Brent Benjamin.
