Well, that's not quite accurate, (ruling that companies can block people from pressing those claims as a group) and in any event, good for SCOTUS. This is what happens when idiots try to abuse the system.

The fight stemmed from a complaint against AT&T Mobility by Vincent and Liza Concepcion, who say they were improperly charged about $30 in sales tax on a phone AT&T advertised as free.
So, two dumbasses tried to launch a multi-million dollar suit against AT&T on the basis of their state's fucktarded laws (taxing "free" handsets) and socialist insanity, and now the federal government's stepped in and overruled a California state law that encouraged this kind of insanity in the first place. And that's how it should be. $30 is a matter for small claims court (if that), not an excuse for a mutli-million dollar lawsuit scheme... against the wrong party anyway. Suing a business because they're following state law and collecting sales tax? Idiots.
