To be accurate, almost anybody can file a suit for almost anything
against anybody.

Some number of filings, not an insignificant number, are rejected by
clerks even before service--typically because no actual tort is alleged
by the would-be plaintiff.

True, but most times the plaintiff turns around and files a revised lawsuit
that takes care of that. Clerks do that all the time, making sure that the
document has all the required components. That's part of their job.

There are a small number of people who, because of a previous record
of abuse of process, are not even allowed to file without first
obtaining specific permission from the court.

That's true too, but it's a very, very small number.

That is not to say that there is no lawsuit abuse. But the remedies
do exist in the law, they simply are underutilized.

So true, but first you have to have a judge who isn't prejudiced towards his
own, and actually believes that the system should not be abused.
