Not a bad list! I’d make one modification: If you sue in a civil suit and lose, you have to pay the other side’s legal expenses.

Yeah, I believe that was one of the bullets in the Contract with America.

I would rather do that and get rid of class action, but repeal these award caps that have passed in some states. I think the threat of class action discourages legitimate business activities by creating legal uncertainty; but award caps encourage illegitimate behavior by limiting potential liability.
