I just looked into it recently. I had never really given the issue any thought or attention at all. I was actually on a weekend getaway in the Catskills, hiking up a mountain, and for some reason, the question popped into my head--is tort reform constitutional? When I got back to my car, I made a note on a scrap to look it up later, which I did. I didn't even know exactly what it was.

It's the feds putting caps on STATE court awards. It's the feds creating some sort of advisory panel. It's the feds sticking their noses where they don't belong.

It just shows you how bad off we really are. You think Limbaugh ever stopped to ask the question--is it constitutional? Hannity? Levin? Nope. They just spout the party line, egging on well-meaning but ill-informed listeners to support something that is just plain wrong.

Then I come to find out that several states have already enacted tort reform. So what's the deal?

Same goes for the other piece--letting people buy insurance across state lines. It's a clever upside down phrasing. What they really mean is force states to allow insurance that doesn't comply with their state laws.

People fall for it so easily. It sounds good. It sounds like it'll help. And since they trust the sources, they don't question it. They just assume it's kosher. It's not. Which means those voices--Limbaugh et al, are not kosher. That's how bad off we are.

It's not just RINOs. It's not just the GOP. The Dems. It's everyone.
