Chalu2, TORT laws aren't a constitutional right. By manipulating the process upon which jurors are selected. By supporting the revolving door "good old boy network" between judges, lawyers and politicians, TORT reform has become necessary. Judges allow far too many cases to drag on forever in order to allow lawyers to milk the system. Microsoft spending in excess of 5 BILLION dollars to defend its assault by a bunch of politicians and lawyers is a national disgrace! The legal professions inability to police its own ethical standards lie at the root cause of why TORT reform is now necessary. Ambulance chasing lawyers, who encourage clients to lie are a common accepted practice these days. The legal profession always had a special responsibility to uphold ethical standards for the good of the nation. And far too many of them have abused their trust as a representative of the court. It's all about money with them now, and ethics be damned! Well guess what? When you have a system which is broke, because the foundation of it lacks the moral clarity and vision to correct itself, laws become necessary. Loser pays should be enacted today. If you lose, you pay! It's simple and it may lesson the frivolous law-suits which are costing our nations plenty. Both in financial cost and in cultural costs. Public schools should be exempt from money sucking spineless lawyers attempting to retire on our backs early. Children's sports activities should also be exempt. The legal profession should step up to the plate and do what's right. Instead of paying off a bunch of (mostly Democratic) politicians to keep their gravy train of low ethical mores alive. We need to look for common sense ways in which to support our businesses from the onslaught of a legal profession out of control. TORT reform, enacted thoughtfully, might just do that.
