Lawsuits Quotes



The Scientology cult operates much like a secret society. One of their practices was to try and keep all their literature secret—to members only. When former members started releasing the material, the Scientologists would sue them. The Scientologists have tried to expunge this quotation as it demonstrates the aggressive, litigious strategy of the cult which purports to be a religion.


Senator Trent Lott had been a strong supporter of making it harder for consumers to sue companies, and making it harder to win even if they sued. Lott and other conservatives thought up the name of “tort reform” for their effort. However when Hurricane Katrina struck, many people lost their homes and when they went to collect from their insurance companies, most would not pay on the grounds that insurance covered wind damage and not flood damage. So if the storm blew the roof and walls down and then the storm surge flooded, it was hard to prove that the initial damage was from the wind storm and not the subsequent flood. Lott lost his expensive home and he himself had trouble collecting, and all of a sudden lawsuits were not so frivolous any longer.
