“class actions exist to create another regulatory authority to oversee commerce, i.e. Lawyers act as gatekeepers of commerce by enforcing consumer protection laws, securities laws, etc.”

If that’s true, then they should all be in jail for crimially depriving people of their rights through extra-Contritutional means.

In other words, doing what you say class-actions ar efor is UNCONSTITUTIONAL, as those involved have been neither elected nor appointed by someone elected, etc. They are self-selected.

1) Proof beyond a reasonable doubt is required.

2) He has to pay for the defense.
