On the recordMarch 6, 1995
He is not going to go through months and years of work; that is preposterous to assume that that is going on. It is not going on. That is why you have the rule of sanctions that the gentleman and I discussed. It has not been used very much. There are not very many cases in which it ought to be used. I think it is very interesting how the gentleman shifted the discussion from stopping frivolous cases to some kind of an incentive to settle. What you have here is a prohibition on an average person getting into a courthouse.
