Don't Spare the Courts

The Los Angeles Times Editorial for January 24 is begging the state of California to spare the California court system the burden of immense budget cuts should Brown's proposed tax hike initiative fail.

We need less litigation in this state, not more. Fewer courts means fewer judges, which means fewer opportunities for frivolous lawsuits.

The cuts in the judicial system would force disputing parties to settle out of court because there would be fewer courts to litigate in! Judges for years have been pressing litigants to settle their petty differences out of court. State facilities like public schools and hospitals have also been hard hit by empty harassment suits which seek to bleed the state dry. Let's stop enabling citizens to pilfer the state coffers in order to fill their own pockets.

Instead of cutting education, let the California legislature lay off the statist judges advancing a big government agenda.

If the state invested in core services only, cutting welfare, medicare, medicaid, and prompted individuals to depend on their own capacities, the state of California would waste less, want less, and more Californians would have more chances to work.

Fewer courts is not a bad thing at all. The state of California should have shut down the expansion of courts and litigation a long time ago.
