Junk Lawsuits Harder To Find Than Weapons Of Mass Destruction In Iraq
Category: In Your Face
The President of the U.S., faced with more than a few credibility problems concerning the war in Iraq, is trotting out his campaign to eliminate "junk lawsuits" (previously know as "frivolous lawsuits"). Day On Torts reports on the response from ATLA and then provides a factual refutation of the need for tort reform.
ATLA Takes On The President(Washington, DC)--ATLA CEO Jon Haber issued the following statement in response to Bush's attacks today on the civil justice system:
"It would take the President less than a minute to discover the number of physicians is on the rise, not declining, and that the reason for inflated malpractice insurance premiums is directly attributable to insurance industry greed. Bush carelessly throws around terms like 'junk lawsuits.' But the civil justice system he is attacking protects families who lose children as the result of medical negligence and patients who suffer devastating injuries -- all of whom deserve accountability. So it appears the 'plethora of lawsuits' the President referred to must be buried out there somewhere with the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq."
I propose a special task force to search for any relationship between the proposals of the President and his fellow tort reformers and the elimination of junk lawsuits. We could use the experts who scoured Iraq for the WMD. Every litigator already knows that tort reform is not intended to eradicate junk lawsuits, but the bait and switch by the President continues. We seem to require a task force or commission these days before anything is accepted as fact.
