Senate Votes for Trial Lawyers
The Senate, currently debating health care, held a rare Sunday session. Beyond the normal bloviating, Senators did take at least one consequential vote.
John Ensign (R-NV) introduced an amendment that would have limited trial lawyer contingency fee amounts in medical malpractice cases. Predictably, the amendment was overwhelmingly voted down, 32-66.
It appears that the trial lawyer lobby remains strong in the Senate.
