Lawsuit Abuse: Democrat Holy Grail

It never fails that our Euro friendly left will always advocate that we follow the international model when it fits their liberal agenda. But when doing so would prove to be limiting to leftist special interests, they ignore and oppose what works to the benefit to societies world wide. It is, in other words, self-serving politics as usual. The heck with doing those things that would accrue to the greater good of our nation.

The trial lawyers are, as we all know, one of the largest groups to donate huge amounts of money to Democrat politicians and causes. And Dem pols never lose sight of that fact. Not to mention that many of those self same politicians are lawyers themselves.

As a result the Dems in Congress continually and without fail protect the interests of the trial lawyers to make billions of dollars from tort litigation. Given the current party affiliation of the majority in Congress and in the Obama (a lawyer himself) administration as well, do not expect "the change that we need" in this arena anytime soon.

For all of the reasons outlined in the article that follows, loser pays is clearly the way to go within the American system of civil litigation. The number of frivolous law suits annually put before our courts is legend. They clog our justice system and it is well established that should anyone decide to seek to enrich their lives, it is much easier to be successful via tort litigation than it is by trying to win a real lottery.

Much of the rest of the civilized world has worked this type of abuse out of their systems. Were it not for the powerful trial lawyers lobby and their Democrat minions, we might do the same here.

But, as is typical of our elected Washington officials, if what is good for the country is not good for their ability to stay in office until they die, than the people be damned. Dems will protect their golden goose regardless of how much damage our legal system, as currently configured, does to the American people. To them, their attorney donors are the top priority, further illustrating and exposing the great flaw in our system of representative governance that promotes self-interest over national benefit literally every time......
