Major drug wholesalers and retailers facing a massive lawsuit for allegedly fost...

“Defendants do not bring this motion lightly. Taken as a whole and viewed objectively, the record clearly demonstrates that recusal is necessary,” the companies said in a court filing on Saturday.

“veryone shares some of the responsibility, and no one has done enough to abate it,” he said, including “the manufacturers, the distributors, the pharmacies, the doctors, the federal government and state government, local governments hospitals. The request for recusal comes days after Judge Polster approved the substance of a proposal by lawyers representing cities and counties suing drug companies over the U.S. opioid epidemic that would bring every state and municipality in the country into their settlement talks.

Referendums are solutions in relation to the hopelessly entrenched.

The Judge will not recuse just because they asked!

In other words, these companies don’t have anything on the judge, which they can use to blackmail him

Since when did the prosecution gets to choose their judge? When they are rich, & loose! America has 2 justice systems, 1 for the rich, & 1 for the rest of US. The rich have been successful at separating We the People into We rich People, the rest. Welcome tp America The Serfdom

Not to change the subject but is is Trump still an a-hole?

Judges like him think they're so high and mighty until they get a traffic ticket for speeding from a 'lowly' cop. This actually happened to former Chief Judge Rehnquist years ago in upstate New York. Look it up!

I'm pissed off that the judge isn't going after criminal charges against these sleze bag criminals.

Find someone, anyone, who wouldn't have an opinion about this going in. They know they can't win, at this point they just want to buy time.

Desperate.

I believe in due process; but some just simply do not deserve it...freaking murderers

Afraid he won't give enough of a big award to Plaintiff- There outta this Business!
