How about a third reason - the Trial Lawyers are major fund raisers and like other Obama supporters (eg unions) are being well taken care of.

That's the nature of politics. But that's not all there is to politics. In this case, it is also the case, often cited here and definitely not refuted by you, that tort reform saves very little money in the aggregate.

That's been posted here more times than I care to enumerate.
