THIS nonsense is why we need LOSER PAYS. See how quickly the frivolous lawsuits vanish if this becomes law.

Loser pays is a bad solution - it just means that the government and the deep pockets can outspend the little guy until they win.

I came across a recent court decision that had a discussion of why the U.S. legal system doesn't do "loser pays," and posted it here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3675016/posts.

Not just "loser pays". In that case, they would just pick somebody with no assets to be the plaintiff.

If the suit is deemed frivolous, make the losing side's LAWYER pay.

This is why we need LESS LAWYERS in Congress. They’ll never vote out a money making scheme for themselves. Vite IN more business people who are sick and tired of paying lawyers’ exorbitant fees.
