MyPillow files $1.6 billion countersuit against Dominion Voting Systems

[Heyo]

I was speaking of those who advocate against loser-pay.

Who is advocating for it? (Except you and me)

Of course, the system is what it is, & everyone is stuck
with dysfunctional rules. So such behavior becomes the
rule for all. A loser-pay system will tend to keep all in line.

Yep, and the insurance industry can make a pretty buck.

 

[Heyo]

Considering the vast amounts of money involved in these suits, MyPillow guy is going to have to sell a lot of pillows to be able to cover those costs.

He would have to sell a lot more pillows if he loses the case against him.
Him suing is an obvious attempt to build up bargaining power to offer to settle out of court.

 

[Stevicus]

It's why we make money, ie, to do things we want to do.

When I've faced wrongful lawsuits, it's often cheaper
to pay them off than to go to court & win. I never
settle them. I'd rather spend the extra money to win.
Why?
1) It's immoral to incentivize legal extortion.
2) I'm a stubborn *****************.

Pardon me French.

Some people make money by filing lawsuits. That's their entire livelihood.

I've done battle with a few of them.
If you pay rent, you're paying for their mischief.

Yeah, those lawyers are a mischievous bunch. Under the political system I would favor, such mischief would be disallowed.

Of course, with lawyers dominating politics,
I don't see that happening.
They need heart plugs (Harkonnen style).

Socialist lawyers might be different from capitalist lawyers.

 

[Revoltingest]

Strong with you the faith is.
But those who lean socialist (ie, liberal) are the worst regarding
advocacy for unaccountability for meritless suits filed...in my
experience discussing such matters here & IRL.

 

[F1fan]

He strikes me as being of the lawyer ilk.
Note how he's attracted to politics, which
is a nest riddled with such predators.

IRL & on RF, the loser pay system is typically
fervently opposed by liberals, who favor the
right to sue anyone for anything without any
responsibility for unjust damage done.
They've said they like the idea that the little
guy can **** up the big guy...no matter the cost.

I'm not following you here. Are you suggesting liberals like frivolous lawsuits just to hassle the "big guy"?

 

[F1fan]

Socialist lawyers might be different from capitalist lawyers.

How would they be different? Lawyers of any given state or municipality will have to work with the same rules of procedure.

 

[Revoltingest]

While not in exactly those words, that is the gist of
arguments they present to me. But I notice that
these people have never been subject to a spendy
bogus lawsuit defense. Experience is illuminating.

Give me examples of this happening on a regular basis. I'm not convinced you are correct.

Examples of meritless suits costing the defendant money?

You said liberals do this, frivolous lawsuits to cost defendants money. Give examples of this happening on a regular basis, and make sure to confirm the people are liberals.

What I actually said is that liberals defend the status quo
against a loser-pay system. I never said that liberals in
particular pursue these suits.

OK, give examples of liberals saying this.

That sounds like an order.
No, I won't be searching for threads.
It would be a lot of work to merely verify what I say.
There's no need for that.
You're free to disbelieve.

MyPillow files $1.6 billion suit to counter Dominion defamation case (cnbc.com)





The suit makes a distinction between MyPillow and Lindell, claiming that Lindell was speaking only for himself, not for MyPillow. The lawyer for Dominion called the suit "meritless."

My Pillow AND Mike Lindell are named in the complaint filed by Dominion.

Do you consider Lindell's countersuit against Dominion as frivolous, and if so, that he is a liberal?

I already called the suit frivilous.
He is not a liberal.
I recommend reading the whole thread.
