If you want to fix the problem of meritless lawsuits, be my guest. My concern with this legislation is that it has nothing to do with merit, and everything to do with our petty fears, petty fears which have an undeniable racial overtone.Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
The point is that people have to spend a fortune to defend against a meritless lawsuit, filed solely to force them to spend a fortune to defend against it. Our crazy legal system allows that sort of thing, and there is no real recourse. These activist groups know it and exploit it.
That is exactly the environment where laws get passed that will make our children ashamed of us, the way we are ashamed of our parents for the WWII internment camps or McCarthyism.
Dude, the argument is about racism. How can we talk about racism without talking about it?If you want to throw around names like racist, just because people disagree with you, that pretty much confirms you are one of the left wing kook brigade. You can't win an argument, so you resort to name calling.
Are you seriously going to claim that there is no racism toward Arabs as a race, or bigotry toward Muslims as a group, in this forum? Do you really want me to start digging up posts?
