Yes @SenThomTillis loves to show that Republicans can weaponize the government, too. This is a downright evil bill seeking to protect the largest US tortfeasors who are heavy lobbying spenders. Those against litigation finance always conveniently forget that not only do routine tortfeasors often do cost benefit analysis on how much they will pay in lawsuits over consumer deaths rather than disclose product flaws. They also generally have very large balance sheets and large legal defense policies. Their strategy of projecting their own maliciousness onto their victims by calling litigation finance, the only thing that can somewhat level the playing field, “predatory” is downright disgusting.
Thanks to @matt_levine for his thoughtful take on @JurisTrade and litigation finance in general in his @Bloomberg newsletter today
