In a closely-watched preemption (i.e. corporate immunity) case that we've blogged about, the U.S. Supreme Court today allowed a case about the deceptive marketing of “light” cigarettes to go forward under Maine’s unfair trade practices law.
Fantastic victory here, and while it shouldn’t have been close, it sure was (5 to 4)! And the court ruled only on the preemption claim, not on the merits. But, phew!
