Bush Goes On and On About Frivolous Lawsuits

Yes, there are too many lawsuits. They do clog the courts. Some people decide that the way to earn an income is by suing someone else.

But let's get real. What if that contaminated flu vaccine had made its way here? What about the Vioxx cases where Merck and the FDA both knew about problems significantly before the patients taking it?

The president wants to free up courts to allow corporations to sue individuals. Period. It's time to say a big, resounding No to this man.

There have to be better ways to deal with the current problems with frivolous lawsuits or runaway jury awards than to remove a consumer's right to take action.
