The judge clearly spent a tremendous amount of time on this case, and on writing the opinion. She had to have read the Mako article in its entirety, since that was the basis for Rosen's case.

I was impressed with the clear way that she explained -- and referenced sources for -- the clinical trial process. And how she repeatedly stated that you can't use the courts to sue if medical opinions differ and you just claim that a clinical trial should be run differently. She is taking a stand for the JUDICIAL PROCESS not to be flooded with a bunch of time-wasting bogus suits.

This is in my opinion a landmark decision that will be used as a precedent in many other greenmail cases. I think she was well aware of her place in history here with this brilliantly-written, brilliantly-researched decision. And I expect to see her nominated for a federal Court of Appeals position eventually, because of THIS case. She deserves it.
