    A few people are pretty cranky over the size of the bill. Here’s my take.

    The bill is $80 million for 10 years of work. We have lotteries that pay out that much a few times a year in a single drawing.

    I don’t know how many full-time equivalent staff-hours went into into it, but if someone wants to put together a law firm whose only job is to take the federal government to task over things like this, I’m happy to chip in $10/year. I’m sure we can find a million other people to do likewise.

    All things considered, it sounds like a bargain. Considering the size of the judgement, I bet the plaintiffs wouldn’t even blink had they been stuck with the bill. This just sounds like someone is a sore loser.
