One of John Edwards’ top priorities in the White House, or as a vice president, will be to fight tort reform and appoint liability-friendly judges to the federal judiciary. Most of his large contributions come from trial lawyers.

On the other hand tort reform is advocated by enormous contributions from an industry that wants to rake in all your premiums and encourages its lawyers to lie cheat and steal in order to make sure that those who are seriously injured by the negligence and deliberate acts of others get nothing for their damages from those who are at fault.

What is conservative about the plan for substituting wealthy entities the size of government for the justice system and enabling them to be able to avoid having juries decide how much harm their insured have done?
