All I'm saying is that you can't take away the right to sue for perceived harm. Its all very well to declare that the US legal system is broken, but its not right to say that the shareholders should not be allowed to sue the board in such cases. Whether the case has merit is precisely the judgement that the courts are there to make.

Excellent point. I can only hope for the outcome :-)
