Easy. By a jury of their peers.

You're confusing common sense, and rational thinking with our judicial system. Anyone can sue anyone, and get compensation from a jury decision. YMMV by each state, but in civil matters many states go with 12 folks selected at random. These are the folks that watch American Idol and elect our presidents.
