Unfortunately, the debate over litigation reform is a complex one. It's difficult to explain to non-lawyers how the procedural rules of litigation create incentives for weak cases and how the mere filing of a lawsuit imposes costs on the defendants and on society.

Muddling the debate through barely-veiled advocacy groups only harms the discourse and makes it more difficult for the voters to understand the issues.

I'm willing to live with the exceptions if they will require all who sue others to pay costs if their suit fails....and penalties if it fails miserably or is thrown out.

And that a false suit is an actionable offense.
