Acker also ruled that the law's requirement that juries
award ``not less than $100 and not more than $1,000'' for each
willful violation gives jurors no rational basis for setting

disproportionate penalties, said Ted Frank, director of the
American Enterprise Institute's Legal Center for the Public
Interest in Washington.

for vagueness,'' Frank said. ...

``Congress didn't correct the underlying problem in the
statute, which is that there's no cap on the damages for a class-
action suit,'' Frank said. ``If those circuits disagree, the
Supreme Court will have to step in and shake this out.''
