Well I’m not a lawyer nor do I play one on tv,however isn’t it a tenet of tort reform,that if a frivolous law suit is brought to court by a group and they lose the case they end up paying ALL the court costs involved? It seems to me if this is accurate we could put a little financial squeeze on our friends in the ACLU !!!
There already is a “loser pays” provision in the Civil Rights Laws. It’s the Attorneys Fee Act of 1976 which the ACLU has been using to bludgeon small towns and small school boards into caving to ACLU demands. “Loser pays” also known as the English Rule, would be a fine reform in tort law generally. But it already exists in this area of the law.
