It is interesting that this case is about "Conflict of Interest" and the people weighing in are on either side of the fence or they would not have searched out this board.

Before angst is thrown back at me, read all the briefs and court documents as I have and it appears Bob did. The Supreme Court tacked on more than Metlife wanted because they seem to have been waiting for a case like this to filter up.
