That's plausible.
What an absolute sick fuck.
Ehh. Our courts are pretty efficient at wading through the bullshit. Ten years ago I may have agreed.
I remember the first time I heard an OCPA litigant in a criminal court like twenty years ago. You have to realize, these litigants are victims of a mail order scam.
See pages 127 to 134 for judicially responding to such litigants. The whole thing is a great read if you want to know all there is to know about it.
Are you a corrections officer or know one that was sued or something, that you hold this view? I think you're grossly overstating the problem.

Individual litigants simply don't have the personal resources to waste significant judicial resources. The resources actually get wasted by corporate defendants who view the aggressive defense of legitimate claims as the built-in cost of doing business. These litigants actually have the competence and resources--practically unlimited funds and armies of white shoe lawyers--to use significant court time, as well as the opposing party's time.
Like, the number of inmate trials about mattress quality that make it to jury selection is zero. On the other hand the number of clear liability, clear damages claims for car accidents, slip and falls, professional negligence, consumer protection, workers' comp., and products liability, actually exists and is a significant drain on judicial and legal resources. They will spend two commas to save one, three to save two; it's to set an example to other would-be challengers: do not sue the corporate class, even if you win, you'll lose. Want to be mad, be mad at that.
