This time we can discuss the lowering of costs, limits on suits, and do it publicly with NON politicians and get something done.
I realize I am making it sound much simpler that it is, but to say...ok it is unconstitutional but we don't trust our legislators to make it right, to me is self defeating.
Everyone realizes what it would mean, lets look for a way to fix it PUBLICLY, OPENLY, and address what the first effort was supposed to address.
I dont think either side disagrees that there is a need for reform, but we need legislation that ACTUALLY addresses the issues involved and is not politically motivated.

What kind of odds are you giving that that will happen? Realistically, I'd bet (big time) that it won't happen unless the Dems keep control of the Senate and regain control of the House. Don't get me wrong, I'd want it to happen, but from what we've seen since 2010 it"s almost hopeless. Civility and common sense are long gone from our Congress. Compromise is a dirty word. ... and it isn't any better in this forum ... everyone is acting like the little girls in the second semester of the 5th grade. God help us all!
