An Australian lawyer, Bill Morgan, asserts that the Ripple lawsuit cannot be reopened due to the legal principle of res judicata, despite criticism from some Democratic lawmakers. The lawmakers have questioned the SEC's decision to drop cases against Ripple and other major crypto firms, suggesting political donations influenced these actions. However, Morgan emphasizes that once a case reaches a final judgment, U.S. law prohibits re-litigation, confirming Ripple's legal victory last year remains final.
