Okay, for the founding forefathers probably never really thought to add in the constitution: "We the People of the United States of America, have the God given right, to sue their happy butts off till the sun don't shine." Why? Because back then you didn't settle your problems with talk. Lets just say the gun productivity was at an all time high back when you could shoot your neighbor if he was being a jerk.
ONWARD!
True story:
Robber breaks into a house with little kids and a young babysitter sleeping upstairs. He walks up the stairs, and TRIPS AND FALLS BACK DOWN the stairs on their little carpet runner. With a broken collar bone and a few other broken stuff, he takes the family to court. Wins. Family ends up paying him for pain and suffering wages, and medical. WTF?!
Should their be any constitutional rights to protect people from an endless array of mindless suing?

I've heard too many stories like this unfortunately.
The story I heard was about a family that left for a family vacation. While they were gone a robber decided to break into their house and steal at his leisure. Easy pickings (kind of like Home Alone). Anyways, while he was busy robbing them he went into their garage and closed the door behind himself. Unfortunately for him the door locked behind him and he didn't have a key! Well, when the family got home and found him nearly starved to death in their garage do you know what he did? He turned around, sued them for his "ordeal" and WON!
This, to me shows a serious flaw in our justice system and, yes, something needs to change. Not the constitution. To change the constitution would suggest that we can change other parts of it (and Fifth Amendment activists would be much to gleeful at that opportunity). No, perhaps a new Amendment or a clarification of some sort.
