| Description: |
Question presented:
All of the parties acknowledge that respondents Stephenson and Isaacson, like hundreds of thousands of other class members purportedly bound by the judgment at issue in this case, had not yet manifested an Agent Orange-related injury at the time the court approved the Agent Orange settlement. Thus, in amicus curiae Public Citizen’s view, before answering the questions presented in the petition, this Court should consider the following jurisdictional question: Does the judgment approving the Agent Orange settlement lack binding effect on respondents on the ground that claims of future, contingent injury do not meet Article III’s case-or-controversy requirement? |
