The first principle for restoring integrity to our judicial system is that states should be permitted to compete with each other in the judge-made rules they offer in-state parties, but prevented from imposing unfair costs on out-of-state defendants. To do this, only one simple reform is needed: Whenever an in-state plaintiff sues an out-of-state defendant for a nontrivial amount, the latter should be given the option of removing the case to federal court.
