in all of the terrible possiblities, i think this point is lost. from my understanding, the court doesn't say "this is right." or "this is wrong." they say, "under current laws, this is allowable."
the court is just doing one of their many jobs... this one should make connecticut (and others) go back and clarify their legislation.
