Well, I guess you still don't understand,
JURIES (Our Peers) award settlements, NOT trial Lawyers.
If you want to blame someone it's the JURIES who are DUMB enough to make these settlements. In what cave do you live?
And as I said countless times before, the ISSUE is his liberal VOTING record. Edwards does NOT represent conservatives by his JOB but by his LIBERAL VOTING RECORD, BY THE ISSUES FOR WHICH HE STANDS.
Uh the trial lawyers ask for such settlements and usually the defense is at a disadvantage because of the system.
Would you be in favor of a loser pays system, I would. It would decrease significantly the number of frivolous suits.
But what the hey be all for increasing medical and insurance rates due to outrageous awards, you have that right as an American.
