What exactly is wrong with a jury deciding what payouts should be in
cases of doctor negligence?  Tort reform seems to me like the absolute
LAST mantle a conservative thinker would want to take up... let's have
congress deciding which cases you can and cannot sue and for how much
you might be awarded when the drunken doctor accidentally irreversibly
cripples you instead of doing a tonsillectomy.

I think it's less about a lobby and more about the constitutional
implications, personally.
