the Democrat majority never allowed real tort reform measures to be brought to the floor of this House ever, and the American people demanded it and the Democrat majority said no, it is not important. And what the new Republican majority did last week was bring very important initiatives to the floor of this House in the way of legal reform. Now, as the gentleman knows, I opposed the loser pays provision, but I supported the securities litigation reform, the joint and several liability reform, punitive damages, the products liability reforms. These are reforms that the American public is demanding today. And what the Democrats seem to conveniently forget is they never allowed this debate to occur, and that is the whole idea behind the contract.
