    US Judges are such corporate sycophants. Sanctimonious cretins who act like their shit doesn’t stink because they wear Harry Potter robes to work. What a fucking joke.

    US District Judge James Donato in San Francisco canceled his class-status order after he concluded that testimony by an expert for consumer plaintiffs “is based on assumptions about the Play Store apps that are not supported by the evidence.”
