by way of anecdote can challenge that assertion. In the Cimino case, which was identifiable via a text search on an online proprietary legal database from the quote offered the editor, the editor ommitted relevant facts and presented an incorrect and misleading statement of the facts. The article makes use of false and misleading anecdotes to put forth a point of view. The obvious inclusion of editorial comments. The suggestion that bars are automatically liable for serving patrons who get in fights with each other and then injure each other. The expression of the editor's opinions. The false comments about
Illinois law that betray either a gross ignorance about the subject matter or wilful intent to deceive the readers. The article as it stood when I described it as a hack job repeatedly makes statements such as, when this and that take place, one can sue the bar. Its is anyone's constitutional right to sue for whatever they want. Just because one sues doesn't mean the case will go forward. Under R. 56 of the rules of civil procedure followed by the federal government and most states, Courts routinely throw out suits that are filed with an insufficient basis.

are creations of statutes, and statutes can be repealed without constitutional violation, as happened in Kansas. The article was too stilted in the other direction, and having quote after quote from various
Supreme Courts regarding the same purpose of the dram-shop laws doesn't add anything meaningful. Dram shop laws may be worthwhile on the whole, but they create some real problems, and opposition to them is meaningful. I've cleaned it up and added the other side.

The selective use of false and misleading facts from cases with no citation. In fact, the inclusion of claims about cases with no reference is in itself a violation of point of view. Without a specific identification of the case referred to, no one except the editor making the reference to the case

Cimino v. The
Milford Keg, Inc., 385 Mass. 323 (1981). In Cimino, evidence showed that the intoxicated patron had been served six or more White Russians by the Milford Keg bar. The patron left the bar, arriving at another bar about fifteen minutes later "totally drunk," holding a White Russian. The

It's a tautology to note that "courts routinely throw out suits that are filed with an insufficient basis." The problem is that the basis to be "sufficient" to avoid being thrown out is absurdly low. It's also not true that one has the constitutional right to sue whoever one wants--dram shop laws
