Some years ago I read that certain counties in Mississippi were magnets as venues for all kinds of lawsuits hoping for big payoffs from deep pockets because the juries were, well, easy. Easy for John Edwards types to roll.
Perhaps their tort reform knocked this class of suit out of the state.
This news somehow must relate to O's attempt to trash the main health provider in MS last week at the joint session. It turns out that the particular health provider is an overwhelming favorite in the state, much loved, and in part I'll bet because of tort reform.
