These cases go a long way towards decreasing the public’s confidence in the civil judicial system. But, regardless of your view of our system, it is impossible to argue that this is an indication of a weak system of justice. Because we have 311 million people in this country and nearly a million lawyers. Of course some of them are going to file completely insane lawsuits just like a small portion of these 311 million are going to do other things of which we strongly disapprove.

As a result, the used-car dealer claims to have “suffered substantial injury” to his “character and reputation,” as well as “mental anguish, loss of future income and loss of earning capacity.”

He is just reinforcing our stereotype of a used car saleman.

But his typo-ridden suit says Shulman and Kruk’s “false statements” include suggestions that Rector is “not worthy” to be a Yankee fan and “is a fatty cow that need two seats at all time and represent symbol of failure.”

You would have thought that this was a pro se lawsuit, but according to the article he has a lawyer.
