Response to Original message |

I am opposed to any legislation that seeks to limit the access of people to the Courts. The right to file a lawsuit when we have been injured is our right. It makes me nervous when Congress tries to take away our rights.
There are sanctions available to the Courts when attorneys file frivolous lawsuits. Those are serious sanctions, and they should be enforced. A Congressional decree that limits the right of the people to seek justice through the Courts is a bad solution.

P.S. I hear Canada's not much colder than the Midwest. In fact, Vancouver is warmer, on average.
P.P.S. Did I mistakenly land in FreeRepublic? I could have sworn I was logged into DU.
