They say he offers no solution to replace federal tort reform, but haven't several states enacted their own? Isn't that the solution?

That and moving more aggressively to police all of the quacks out there.

[Huck]

Doesn't it seem outrageous for the "conservative" party to be advocating federal takeover of state tort law? And yet, no one blinks. It sounds good. It was only recently I bothered to even think about the issue. It's been a GOP talking point for some time, and I finally asked myself--what is it? When I found out, I realized it was wrong.

I looked up Ron Paul's stance on it for fun, and found that, sure enough, he opposed it.

But you've got all these talkers--Rush, Hannity, Levin, etc---all clamoring for it. I'm sure they'd never take a call questioning the constitutionality of it. That question would never make it past the screener. And so it goes. Sliding along that slippery slope. We're playing around at the margins. All the decisive battles are lost.
