Scott stumbled across this article from ABCNews.com that speaks to John Edwards background. The article brings out a couple of very interesting points:
Trial lawyers tend to increase the cost of everything by suing anyone they can for negligence, malpractice, etc.John Edwards won, for his clients, a $6 million dollar lawsuit against a doctor who may not have done anything wrong
Read the article for yourself. Do you really want a leech on society as the next Vice-President?
This just goes to show we need open season on lawyers. A large amount of them are just money grubbing good for nothing parasites that help to screw us all over. They also wreck the economy by screwing over businesses. I mean if a hospital is fully concerned about being sued what are the chances that you'll recieve the right kind of help or a speedy recovery. Also, tobacco companies never forced anyone to smoke. People chose to do so and they KNEW what may come of it. So everybody, please. Cut back on all lawsuits. Most are full of shit anyway and merit no attention whatsoever.
