I thought, according to the Chamber of Commerce, that were too many frivolous lawsuits! Well then...Let's dismiss the frivolous ones early one, shall we?

Having ACORN prevail risks the condemnation of the country's citizenry. Why risk becoming the next Judge Ito? The safest course is to kick it up to the federal level if at all possible.

And another 100 or so for David Motari, the dog-killing Marine. Both were bullshit "stories" that I broke by reading a site populated by 4Chan Btards. Both led to record days of traffic and comments.
