Where do Gore and Nader stand on tort reform?

They oppose efforts to limit access to court.

They oppose efforts to eliminate punitive damages.

They oppose efforts to place a cap on general damages.

They support the right to trial by jury.

Nadar, in particular, believes that access to court serves as a powerful deterrent to unsafe products and practices.

Here, in the State of Washington, we had a natural gas pipeline explode by Bellingham causing some deaths. If we did not have our justice system, similar events would increase. Conservatives believe in the death penalty as a deterrent but are not consistent when it comes to unsafe products and practices.
