Loser Should Pay

One of the worst tactics used by people who just want to “bankrupt” their opponents is to sue them. Even if they KNOW they can’t win. That’s because it will usually cost their enemies a LOT of money for lawyers and court costs, even if they DO lose. That has to change. Anybody can sue for anything, even if they KNOW they can’t win. Cities across the nation are pursuing spurious suits against arms manufacturers, knowing they can’t win, but with the goal of bankrupting them. With all the trial lawyers in Congress and the bureaucracy, I don’t think it will happen in my lifetime. But it is the BEST way to get rid of “spurious suits.” (IBD Editorials)
