Show some respect for the judicial system. If legislators wouldn’t write laws that were mutually contradictory, so-called “activist judges” (so-called by whomever disagrees with their interpretation of contradictory laws) wouldn’t have to resolve the contradictions. In this case, the AAMC, the NRMP, and friends secured passage of a special amendment that resolved the anti-trust question by codifying the legitamcy of the Match. There was no room for interpretation, and so the judge decided accordingly. You want absolute clarity from the judicial branch? Demand better legal writing from the legislative branch. It might help if elected officials and their staff started authoring the legislation themselves rather than leaving all the writing to lobbyists.

I am disgusted that because of the millions these idiots cost NRMP to defend this frivolous rubbish, FUTURE students going through the match will have to pay higher fees. As if they didn’t have enough debt already.

I wish we followed the UK system, where the loser pays the costs.
