(17,502 posts)1. actually, no.
Read the CT decision. It is based on a state deceptive advertising law. Even then, the majority said "let's see what happens", It isn't based on any accepted legal doctrine. That is why before PLACA, plaintiffs always lost.

"Listen, I'm a politician which means I'm a cheat and a liar, and when I'm not kissing babies I'm stealing their lollipops. But it also means I keep my options open."
