Most of the lawyers who create these cases out of whole cloth should be horsewhipped in the town square and the judges who are reluctant to throw their golf-buddies' cases out of court aren't far behind.
The American Trial Lawyers Association (ATLA) and the legislators on their payroll if not their membership roster are collectively about one or two steps removed from organized crime.
