Also, back when I was doing analysis of "wrappers" for federal district court cases in the early 1990s, most litigation involving corporations was between non-banking sector firms and banking sector firms. #tw
In most litigation between individuals and corporations at the federal level, the defendant was an individual. #tw
If you want to read more about this, I'd recommend Mark Galanter's work on litigation patterns. #tw
That analysis to support Galanter and Roger's work is how I learned Perl and ended up working on the web. #tw
Anyway, if you see anyone from AEI or Cato at an academic event, look out, they are trying to steal your money, rights, or both.
Both the "speech panic" and the "litigation panic" are powerful interests' backlash against being held accountable for their actions. #tw
