Vanguard Car Rental v. Huchon
Congressional grants of tort immunity obtained by big business through political contributions and lobbying are finally hitting some limits. In 2005 the rental car industry managed to get immunity for harm caused by their vehicles, known as the "Graves Amendment", passed as an amendment snuck into a 900-page transportation appropriations bill without review from the relevant congressional committees. On September 14, 2007 the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida declared the Graves Amendment providing tort immunity to the rental car industry to be unconstitutional. The Court reasoned that federal grants of immunity for businesses traditionally regulated at the state level constitute an overreaching of Congress' power under the Commerce Clause. Vanguard Car Rental v. Huchon, Civ. Case No. 06-10082, (USDC So.Dist. Fl. 2007)

After 17 years on the Hawaii Supreme Court, Chief Justice Ronald Moon is retiring this year. A leader with many innovations for the judiciary which have proven highly successful, Justice Moon will be sorely missed. He has been a protector of individual rights throughout his 28 years on the bench and there is great concern in Hawaii that without his guidance and direction that judicial protections for individual citizens will be eroded in favor of business interests and the wealthy.
