harvey wilkinson of the fourth circuit court of appeals has publicly supported congressional action to change the standards for joinder, saying that's exactly the kind of approach the federal jurisdiction reform that i like because it's targeted and there is a problem with fraudulent jurisdiction law as it exists today. i think, and that is that you have to establish that the joinder of a nondiverse defendant is totally ridiculous and there's no possibility of ever recovering. that's very hard to do, he says. so i think making the fraudulent joinder law more realistic appeals to me because it seems to me the kind of intermediate step that addresses real problems. the bill before us today addresses those real problems in two main ways. first the bill allows judges greater discretion to free and innocent local party from a case where the judge finds there is no plausible case against that party. that plausibility standard is the same standard the supreme court has said should be used to dismiss pleadings for failing to state a valid legal claim and the same standard should apply to relie
