As I said, one can not sign away their rights to sue, in violation of the law...
So much for this GOP hate thread...
If you bothered to even listen to Fraken's comments, (which was posted a few pages back) the ruling was for the 5th district court only and does not apply to other jurisdictions. Also this took several years to even get the opportunity to get this to court.

Its in federal court, and federal courts, while regional, dictate laws on a nationwide basis, especially considering we are dealing with actions taken in Iraq..
We are a NATION of laws, and rape is against the law nation wide.. A contract deemed illegal in 5th district FEDERAL court, would also be illegal in all other federal courts. Its called a legal presidence. It only takes ONE judge to deem something illegal, and then all future cases can use that judges ruling to continue to trial.
The only people above the federal judges, is the Supreme Court, and unless the Supreme Court ruled that the contract is legal, the federal judges ruling stands.

Keyword is CAN. One judge can deem something illegal, but it does not mean other judges are obligated to follow suit. Many times they do follow suit, but they do not have to follow suit.

Apparently you do not understand the nature of the Appellate Court process. The 5th Circuit Decision is binding only within the 5th Circuit. Please don't post about things you know nothing about. While judges in other courts may find the 5th Ciruit ruling interesting or valuable, they are under no obligation to follow that ruling.
Only U.S. Supreme Court decisions are binding on all jurisdictions.
And those Republican Senators who voted against his bill are pro-Rapist.
