>but frivolous lawsuits are a thing, and though you'd expect a judge to recognize them, by the time it gets to that point a lot of time and money has already been wasted.

Yes, but I would guess, more frivolous lawsuits are filed by corporations looking to silence critics or competition more so than ambulance chasers. They certainly have deeper pockets.

And, I guess we should have some faith in our legal system to ultimately sniff out frivolous lawsuits and dismiss them. I understand that there's a cost to a lawsuit on both sides but it seems this could be (and possibly already is in the form of counter suits for costs) addressed.
