I strongly disagree. Loser pays would work if the system was fair, which it isn't. It's stacked so the rich win. Money is what got OJ acquitted. Money is what let Exxon avoid paying the fishermen whose livelihoods it ruined, for ~20 years, and money is what let Exxon pay pennies on the dollar of the original judgment.
