On the recordNovember 19, 2003
Is it, therefore, the Senator's position that the determination of whether or not the person who polluted the water in that home which is no longer livable, can't take a shower and can't drink the water, that the person who seeks redress on that should have the Congress unilaterally decide that a product which appears to have a fairly significant proximity to the problem should no longer be subject to liability simply because the product has been designed in a certain way, and that it should be the Congress--many Members of Congress never having even been in that home or a home of a similar nature--that should eliminate the capacity of that individual to have redress in a lawsuit? Would it not be a court's decision or jury's decision to make the determination if the product was produced without defect, that product should not be liable rather than the Congress unilaterally deciding that product should not be liable?
