Remarks from the Fray:
Bush is even more confused about frivolous lawsuits than he is about standard English. Rule 11 sanctions already are available for judges to hand out to attorneys who bring meritless suits. What Bush and his republican doctor friends are more worried about are MERITORIOUS lawsuits where plaintiffs are awarded high monetary damages by juries for genuine malpractice accompanied by punitive damages. Since many state medical boards have become doctors' clubs that let bad physicians keep licenses, how else can this behavior be regulated but through the courts, with plaintiffs acting as private attorneys general to clean out negligent physicians? The medical profession could have taken its own medicine (physician heal thyself) by being quicker to kick bad doctors out of the profession, but that makes too much sense.
