If there are a lot more Republicans like you, the party is in deep trouble.

Nice school . I went to Rutgers for undergrad; only a few schools are older, and W&M is one of 'em.

Oh, and Colonial Williamsburg, rocks!

... and all of the other distrusted professionals are businessmen of some sort. At least Lawyers have the bar association, which can be fairly harsh with ethics violations. Ask Bill Clinton.

I don't have any particular problem with businessmen, its just naive to think that, as a group, they're any better than lawyers.

Lawyers will always abuse the system if they can get away with it legally. Once an abuse is identified, we need to fix it.

Forum shopping for class actions has become a scandal. The only people who would not favor fixing the loopholes are people who care nothing at all about justice.

So long as Democrat demonize corporations they will remain a minority party. Schwarzennegger got elected on a pro-business climate platform. He represents where America is at now.

Most particularly, the people are no longer fooled by the lies of the Democrats. Class action abuse is not about vindicating the rights of people against big corporations. It is about making lawyers rich by gaming the system.

Imran, it is amazing that you have abandoned ethics and now favor abusing the system to get big bucks for lawyers. I know where you are heading in law. You will be the kind of lawyer I totally despise:

A self-serving, greedy liar.

Ned, it is amazing that you have abandoned ethics and now favor abusing the system to get big bucks for corporations at the expense of victims. I know where you are heading in life. You will be the kind of person I totally despise:

A pathetic, screw-the-victim, corporate boot licking lackey.
