We may just be off agreeing with each other at the top of our lungs...
But anyway I DO support laws that change how tort works in the US... the
change I want to see is that if a lawsuit IS found to be frivolous there is
some financial consequence to (the law firm of) the plaintiff to compensate
the defendant for their lost time/effort. Has to be structured carefully so
that it's not a barrier to entry for justifiable lawsuits.
Tangentially, yesterdays USA Today had a story about how hard it is for
those wrongfully imprisoned to get compensation. Seems to me that if someone
is incarcerated for something they truly didn't do, there are lost wages
that ought to be made up...
By analogy: Jury duty is a civic duty, you lose wages and that's the way it
is. But being imprisoned is arguably not your civic duty...
