SUPREME COURT REJECTS FERES DOCTRINE BID

摘要

The Supreme Court again on Monday opted not to hear a challenge to the legal precedent barring individuals from suing the military for medical malpractice, a decision blasted by Justice Clarence Thomas as short-sighted and unfair. "Unfortunate repercussions - denial of relief to military personnel and distortions of other areas of law to compensate - will continue to ripple through our jurisprudence as long as the Court refuses to reconsider (this issue)," Thomas wrote in his dissent to the court's decision not to take up the challenge.
