Insurance for Self Defense?

Yeah, but...........................


Quote:
In the United States, Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and similar state rules require that an attorney perform a due diligence investigation concerning the factual basis for any claim or defense. Jurisdictions differ on whether a claim or defense can be frivolous if the attorney acted in good faith. Because such a defense or claim wastes the court's and the other parties' time, resources and legal fees, sanctions may be imposed by a court upon the party or the lawyer who presents the frivolous defense or claim. The law firm may also be sanctioned, or even held in contempt

Yeah, and the President could pardon Bernie Madoff. It doesn't mean it is going to happen.

Look at the article you referenced. A $1,500 fine, for a federal prisoner who spends his free time all day every day writing merit-less complaints, and won't pay anyway? Do you really think this will stop Johnathan Lee Riches:

I was pointing out the folly of making the unequivocal statement "NO". You're pointing out the folly of the rule of law.
