He’s dead wrong on national tort reform, for instance.

I agree. Both tort reform and marriage there is a good case that we need uniform laws. But if it truely leads to a smaller federal government, the pluses outweigh the minuses.

I agree, as well. There is no workable way for states to have marriage laws that differ in such ways.

How about providing that in any lawsuit between parties in different states, either party may refuse to accept the lawsuit in the other state; if both parties so refuse, then the issue is decided in federal court under federal rules.

If a state passed a law providing that anyone who purchased a product in that state and was unhappy with it for any reason could demand to be paid three times the purchase price, businesses within that state would be subject to lawsuits from citizens of that state, but businesses in other states could refuse to accept the lawsuits in that venue.
