Is it bad faith to exercise a right so important that it makes it into the Constitution three times? Yes, the insurance company calls the shots on litigation strategy but when the actual trial starts, the defendant is the one facing a jury of their peers, not State Farm.

Justice delayed is justice denied, sure, but it's a question of some months we're talking about here between district and circuit. Where are we to draw the line to say it is proper to abrogate the defendant's rights in the interest of swift resolution for the plaintiff?

I'm genuinely unsure about how I'll vote on this initiative. I appreciate your sharing from you perspective but there are other things to consider for people who do not have a business interest (or have an opposing business interest) in the matter.
