That is completely and totally wrong.

But this is a great red herring for conservatives to raise. Scare the population about all of those frivolous lawsuits that are going to happen to them, when the odds of this occurring are slim to none. The frivolous lawsuits that are generated in our society are a very small portion of legitimate cases brought to court. High profile companies are usually the target of the worst cases. The bottom line: if you are not a top tier Fortune 500 company, you are not likely to be generating many frivolous lawsuits. As an individual, or a small business, this should be the least of one's concerns. The irrational fear-mongering continues, however.

I would much rather bring it into a court of law to determine guilt or innocence than protect them all from such suits regardless of their actions. To me that concept is insane.
