“With regard to equity in funding facilities, the Court in essence invites further litigation by ruling only that necessary evidence was not presented.”
Scott McCown
“Today's ruling was not unexpected, but what was surprising is the blatant role American Express is playing in this litigation. In their arguments today, the government's lawyers relied almost completely on American Express' woes to make their case.”
Kelly Presta
“There's no hard and fast rule in these cases. People do rush into litigation too quickly, generally speaking, but in this case, it was right that it went to the courts, and the court made the right decision.”
Christopher Wolf
“I wouldn't have been in favor of moving ahead with litigation if I had not thought it was necessary. Is it unfortunate? Yes. It's very unfortunate, but when you have a room packed full of people asking what we're going to do about their jobs and the corporation worked for that lied to the heads of the state of Iowa ... then you have a situation in question that could keep those jobs here, you ask a judge to figure who's right and who's wrong.”
Chris King
“It's very irresponsible of legislators to invite costly litigation on something that they spent hard earned taxpayer dollars on just a few days ago.”
Beth Wilson
“Litigation should be a last resort, not a knee-jerk reflex.”
Irving S. Shapiro
“In the strange heat all litigation brings to bear on things, the very process of litigation fosters the most profound misunderstandings in the world.”
