If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear. -- George Orwell

Tort Reform Issues at Forefront: As if Mississippi hasn't gotten enough publicity from tort reformers on its handing out of huge jury awards in class action cases, now a couple of the jurors who participated in this goofiness are suing 60 Minutes for $6 billion for airing a story about jury awards in Mississippi. They each participated in handing out $150 million personal injury/product liability awards. At the same time, a ridiculous award of $145 million has made its way to the Supreme Court and will be heard. Sooner or later, the phrases "jackpot jury" and "coffee spill millionaire" will, with luck, no longer mean anything.
