) This tort reform debate is extremely hot in the sense that although there are no reasonable people in favor of tort reform, it is the position pushed forward by the owners of Conngress and the courts. Still, those owners of government do not get to vote in this country (USA), and they must convince the voters to vote for the political candidates that will do their biddingsuch candidates are nearly always a member of one or the other of the two major political parties (about half from one party, half from the other). So the hot debate is not so much a partisan debate along "party lines" (note you will not be able to see such lines ona cloudy day, so don't bother to look for them), as it is along the lines of which elected or appointed officials are willing to come out of the closet as kept mistresses, and openly do the bidding of their masters. It's a true nail-biter. The "debate" has been keeping "voters" on the edge of their seats for years, even though numerous laws have been passed that could count as tort reform, if the counters were honest. For example, the 1995 Securities Litigation Reform Act, and numerous court decisisons (there's one in front of the Supremem Court nowwonder if the little guy will win?) which limits the ability of defrauded mom and pop investors in teh stock market to sue fraudulent companiesmany of which are operating under the guise of a Fortune 500 firm, as Enron did.

Please do not delete from discussion on tort reform article.  ) So, in conclusion, it is plain that an objective or neutral POV on tort reform will be difficut to achieve. Nonetheless, I applaud those who tried to square the circle and turn lead into gold. However, anyone claiming to be attempting to achieve neutrality on tort reform is by their own admission working for the devil. RUReady2Testify
