Jun. 3rd, 2021 11:51 amThis is from a recent 9th circuit opinion. I don't know and don't care what the case was about.
Also, because it's a unanimous panel opinion, two other judges thought this was a good idea.
"ConAgra thus essentially agreed not to do something over which it lacks the power to do.
That is like George Lucas promising no more mediocre and schlocky Star Wars sequels
shortly after selling the franchise to Disney. Such a promise would be illusory.(5)"
"(5) As evident by Disney’s production of The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker."
and in the same paragraph:
"In reality, this promise is about as meaningful and enduring as a proposal in the Final
Rose ceremony on the Bachelor. "
The opinion was written by a 40 something Trump appointee and joined by a 40 something Obama appointed and a 70 something senior district court judge appointed by Reagan.
