The legislation will pass and it will be a good bill, because it will begin the process of putting order into what is now a mess.


I don't know how anyone could say that it will pass or that it will be a good bill because the process is so mired down at this point it just isn't possible to establish either of these points as fact.

As to the current mess, it needs some work but one thing is certain -- there are many more ways you can screw up what we have than there are to improve what we have.

.if you made constructive critiques and offered plausible alternatives you'd deserve credit.

Not sure who you are referring to, but the Rs in Congress have tried to get a foot in the door on this legislation and have gotten nothing.

The most obvious proof of this is the lack of any tort reform in ANY of the current bills. A bill without tort reform doesn't even pass the laugh test. And now, Obama has put a former lobbiest for the trial lawyers in charge of looking at tort reform as an option. But the resounding threat of using an end-run around the legislative process is at least as bad.

I'm sure that is lost on you. The very idea of putting a lobbiest for the lawyers in charge of researching tort reform is obscene. Something only a liberal can appreciate.
