took away a lot of individual rights and instituted loser pay rules to stop lawsuits period! Judges throw out the few frivolous suits that get filed, there was no need before for these measures except to insulate corporations from liability for their wrong doing. U.S. Judges were polled years ago about frivolous suits on their dockets and 98% said they had no problem with them in their court!
In Texas, the Texas Supreme Court rules against individuals vs. corporate defendants 87% of the time! The Plutocrats and corporations run this country!
We need Bernie Sanders more than ever!
