What he does not point out is that the class members themselves in this plaintiffs' suit are bound to class actions unless they affirmatively opt out. Defendants, in contrast, actually hire and fire their attorneys. There is a stark difference. They get those bills on an hourly basis every month. They know precisely what they are being charged and how much the attorneys make.

And he is the one who needs some sunlight here; there already is sunlight on the other side.
