Reply #15: This is about defunding the Democratic Party [View All]

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

Trial lawyers as a group are major contributors to the Dems. If you limit jury awards, you decimate their income, and hence their contributions dry up.

That is what this whole "tort reform" crap is all about, IMHO. It follows on the heels of "right-to-work" laws (defunds unions) and laws which prohibit unions from giving money to candidates not supported by a member. Same thing with *'s unprecedented and unnecessary use of Taft-Hartley in the longshoremen's dispute here in California -- another union-busting tool.

The GOP isn't be happy to be the majority party; they want to be the only party!
