Under the 10th Amendment, it’s certainly more Constitutional. I guess it’s the principal that bothers me some.
It shouldn't even require the 10th amendment,which is a dead letter anyway. If you are saying you oppose even state-level tort reform, that's fine. It may be that even at the state level tort reform is a bad idea. If that's the case, I assume you oppose federal tort reform. It's a bit of a reality check to realize that our so-called conservative talkers--Rush, Hannity, Levin, etc--all advocate federal tort reform. It just shows you how trustworthy they are on the fundamentals.
Your point is taken, that the jury is probably even closer to the people than the state gubmint. Although, given the nature of our populace, juries scare me too.
