What Harwood wants to do is redefine “frivolous lawsuit” to mean “pretty much any lawsuit.” A majority of the House agreed, passing the bill Monday. “My reason for bringing it is we can’t let groups tie up commerce in this state,” Harwood said Monday. “It costs the state of Idaho a lot of money to fight these lawsuits.” Well, it cost the Catholic Church a lot of money to fight lawsuits, too. That doesn’t mean you start charging people to sue. I give Harwood some credit for calling me up and debating this. He’s a timber-country guy, and his monochromatic view of lawsuits come from his long history of seeing timber sale after timber sale tied up by lawsuits, he said. Yet he seems unwilling to grant the possibility that a person with an environmental opinion might be a citizen. With rights/Shawn Vestal, SR. More here.
