10. notice they rarely complain about ACTUAL frivolous lawsuits
actual frivolous lawsuits get kicked out of court. it's not like the legal system is unable to deal with that problem.

no, the lawsuits that they call "frivolous" are the ones where the jury decides that a company violated the law and damaged a consumer someone else and awards them a large sum of money to compensate and possibly punish.

in other words, the judge and the jury all decided that the case had legal and factual merit and was not frivolous.

in fact, if "frivolous" were really the problem, it would hardly be worth complaining about.

no, what they're complaining about is consumers and the law infringing on their "right" to cause harm to anyone they please, without recourse. they just can't stand the idea that a company that causes harm should take responsibility for their actions.
