Question presented

I. Does the Reexamination Clause of the Seventh Amendment allow the Circuit Court to fix the amount of punitive damages without offering a remittitur or new trial? II. In light of this Court’s holdings in United States v. Haymond, 139 S. Ct. 2369, 2376 (2019) and S. Union Co. v. United States, 132 S. Ct. 2344, 2350–51 (2012) should this Court expressly overrule Gasperini v. Ctr. for Humanities, Inc., 116 S. Ct. 2211, 2240 (1996) and Cooper Indus. v. Leatherman Tool Grp., 121 S. Ct. 1678 (2001)?
