Hey, did you know that you can be sued for saying something about some company that they dont like? Sure you did. Did you know that it doesnt have to have merit? Yeah, you knew that, too. Did you know the name of such a frivoulous lawsuit, designed not to seek justice , but merely to shut you up, is a "SLAPP"? And did you also know that Congressman Steve Cohen (D-TN) has introduced a bill to help stop (or at least de-nuisance) such lawsuits? Now, seeing how he's a Democrat, what are the odds that Republicans, the bane of the civil lawyers, will oppose what is essentially tort reform?
