Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, who made his fortune as a trial lawyer, says attorneys should have to show their medical malpractice cases have merit before filing them. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Silky Pony 'pull himself up by his bootstraps' by suing the pants off folks with medical malpractice and other suits? I guess now that he's made himself wealthy beyond the imagination of many, it's time to put the brakes on this sort of thing.
He also said attorneys with a history of frivolous suits should be barred from filing new cases.
Won't he have to start with himself?...

This is kinda like the person who gets his house in the forest and then supports laws restricting any more building there so as to preserve the pristine environment. IE, a modern liberal.
I call 'em redwood deck environmentalists.

next : limits on house sizes Edwards has already proposed this. He wants to take away the mortgage interest deduction if your house is "too big".
You know that this won't affect him. Libs NEVER impose laws on everyone else that they have to comply with.

Same for Global Warming. Should be some kind of minimal test of both the case and the witnesses. Well, there is, but seems like they don’t use it all the time.

“Edwards: Limit Frivolous Lawsuits”
Tramslation:
Edwards: I’ve made my millions as a parasitic lawyer.
Now make me President of the USA and I’ll promise (ha-ha!!!) to
pull up the rescue ladder on my fellow blood-suckers!!!
I’ve got to give Edwards credit.
He’s probably done a good job of gauging the stupidity of a lot of voters.

Edwards promised us that Christopher Reeves would walk if Kerry was elected. Will he bring back Elvis if he is elected?
SCUM!

Back during the 2004 campaign, I loved it when GWB said in a speech somewhere (paraphrasing) that frivolous lawsuits were out out of control, so what do the Democrats do? They put a lawyer on the ticket.
Priceless!
