This will probably upset the plaintiffs since it means I can wait for more desirable settlements, or if a case goes to trial, I can wait for the appeals process to play out if needed. Everyone is counting on me to rush into undesirable settlements because of all the pressure I&#8217;ll be under during this time. And it isn&#8217;t too cool for the media, specifically 60 Minutes, to publish a story on capping pre-settlement funding. I&#8217;m pretty sure that if people try to keep me from getting this funding, it&#8217;s a violation of my civil rights.  It is very inappropriate for my plaintiffs to engage in this behavior.  Pre-settlement funding caps really hurt plaintiffs and just favor big corporate interests. I&#8217;m not trying to be stingy here. At this point, I  really only want to take some defamation cases to trial. Am I wrong for exercising my right to seek justice here? I guess it&#8217;s more acceptable to try to take advantage of me and this situation. I have nothing to gain in this lawsuit anyway. All of it will go out to all the plaintiffs, not me. I just want to have an option if I really need it. Sorry for loving the Constitution and for expecting to have the same rights everyone else has.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sheryl Crow - Leaving Las Vegas\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Xkc-en0_LGY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think I&#8217;m going to try to move to Oklahoma, Wyoming, or somewhere else where there is no pre-settlement funding [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6087,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6092","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/vanjordan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/images.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vanjordan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6092","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vanjordan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vanjordan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vanjordan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vanjordan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6092"}],"version-history":[{"count":18,"href":"https:\/\/vanjordan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6092\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6112,"href":"https:\/\/vanjordan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6092\/revisions\/6112"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vanjordan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6092"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vanjordan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6092"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vanjordan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6092"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
