I don't think a total of one case, which by the way was thrown out of court and didn't make it to trial, is grounds for passing legislation to ban any future cases on the matter.
Congress shouldn't be in the business of saying what the courts are and are not allowed to bring to trial. That's up to the courts.
Yeah but this ban will prevent it ever going to court period. Even though that case never made it to trial I can quarantee you days were wasted on it. Days that could of been used for more important cases.
