Santorum's Wife Sued Doctor For $500,000, Despite Senator's Calls For Tort Reform

[Stephen Cue]

Im confused with the lawyer bashing, correct me if Im wrong but aren't all lawyers (even evil ones) perfect examples of...gasp...capitalists?

What is the difference between an attorney capitalizing on a lawsuit than say Romney buying a company, laying off all the workers, selling off the assets, and making off with more than he invested with?

Or is it that "trial lawyers" are just a liberal ad-hom?

I would think any animosity should be toward the voting public that elects the legislature that makes the laws which in turn makes it possible for "trial lawyers" to make big big $$$

Capping punitive damages to me is tyrannical, taking away the freedom of a jury or "the people" from levying out what they feel is justice.

Oh crap! Ive gone cross-eyed again trying to stare into the abyss

I'm sure it's happened before,

Well, if a lawyer who is not into conspiracy theories is sure it's happened then is it a "conspiracy theory" or not?

Capping punitive damages to me is socialistic, taking away the freedom of a jury or "the people" from levying out what they feel is justice.

A lawyer has a professional and legal responsibility to justice as an Officer of The Court, does the capitalist? Is the Boardroom the same as the Courtroom?

Ha ha, you do like to play word games....I'm "sure" as in it has probably happened somehow, someday, someplace, but I've never heard of it.

A capitalist has to follow laws and regulations. A lawyer has to follow laws and regulations.

Are you asking me if I think a lawyer should/has to follow some sort of moral standard that is not a law/regulation and a capitalist has no expectancy to be moral?

Do all capitalist take an oath? Capitalism is about profit, and yes lawyers deserve to make one, but isn't the law supposed to be concerned with and have a responsibility for justice first.

No further questions.

No further questions.

Promise?

 

[Billybob]

Promise?

No, so I'll "expand" upon my answer as you did, no further questions at this time. But I might ask other questions, about something, somehow, someday, someplace, or some other time.

What will we do after the benevolent government-legal entity disposes of all the evil corporate-medical slime and that pesky military-industrial complex? Have everyone recycling fiat currency with no right to legal action? If ANY of these groups had any collective core values we would not need a legal complex.

Justice, in any civilization, is proportional to the wealth spent to obtain it.
