HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE APPROVES BILL TO AMEND RULE 11 OF FEDERAL RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE -- On July 7, the House Judiciary Committee reported H.R. 966 out of the committee by a vote of 20 Yeas, 13 Nays. The vote was along party lines. H.R. 966 was introduced by Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas) to amend Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure “to improve attorney accountability.” It would require courts to issue sanctions for Rule 11(b) violations and to compensate parties injured by the violation with attorneys’ fees and other reasonable expenses incurred as a result of the violation. It would remove the 21-day “correction” period provided under current law

You're siding with the Republicans on this one Tom. Atta boy!
