I wish the state legislature would put a limit on the number of unsuccessful libel lawsuits a lawyer could file.

They file because they have the money to file, and some very bruised egos. I can't remember one they won.

In my state of California, a Plastic Surgeon managed to rack up over 70 bad Yelp reviews. She then tried to sue 12 of her former patients.

The judge threw the lawsuits/lawsuit out. Poof!

A limit on the number of lawsuits you can file is a limitation of your Constitutional right
While I agree, there should be repercussions. It's borderline harassment though to fire up frivolous cases.
