"Chatty Patty" Leahy is up again, discussing asbestos sufferers.

Says there must be a legislative solution because the courts are unable to handle this problem (soon enough).

Asbestos sufferers?? Give me a break, please! That is the biggest of the trial lawyer's scams and has put more than one reputable company out of business. If someone is suffering lung problems, unless you were a miner, it is likely from some other ailment, like smoking or pollution related asthma. If the WTC had been completed with asbestos fire proofing (IIRC they had been partially insulated with asbestos and either had to rip it out or finished the upper stories with some sort of foam insulation), they may not have been weakened to the extent that they collapsed, or at least the collapse would have been delayed.
