The Democrats to make it sound as if the trial lawyers of America are the most altruistic, wonderful, public-spirited bunch ever, courageously standing up for “the little guy” by forcing big, bad corporate America to make its numerous victims whole.
Thomas Sowell isn’t quite buying it. Here is a splendid column in which he lets it be known that a lot of lawsuits, including those Senator Edwards used to specialize in, have nothing to do with justice and are all about enriching the lawyers who dream them up.
Right now one of those trial lawyers is probably trying to figure out if it would be possible to sue Sowell for … how about “intentional infliction of emotional distress?”
