Yeah, this legal /tort system is absurd.
But within the last two years we owe credit to our illustrious resident at 1600 Pennsylvania.
Seems that the House came up with a good bill to limit monetary settlements in suits. Both sides of the fence were amazingly in favor.
Also seems that a "contribution" to the Dem party of a measly $100,000 from a group of Texas lawyers tipped the edge and magically the bill was vetoed by the aforementioned!
Aaaah, America!!
