In Texas, a legislator was partner in one of the largest trial lawyer firms. He produced legislation helping make Texas a magnet for class action suits. He then was elected to the State Supreme Court making decisions on such suits.

He's now a U.S. representative.

So, you left out a loop in the scam.

Thanks for the information, D-fendr. I was not aware of this enterprising individual.

Could you give us his name? I'm always curious about the history of a "self-made" man.
