On the recordJune 29, 2001
Well, I guess there is some reason that could be done. That is only going to complicate what we have. We are trying to give as much discretion as possible to State judges. I think they need that. I think one of the problems that I have with the Senator's original amendment is it takes away from State law, from what States can do. It seems interesting to me that we are so in tune with States rights around here all the time, unless it comes to something dealing with injured parties--whether it is product liability cases or whatever. We suddenly want to take away what the States have worked on for all these decades. I think my friend's amendment takes away a lot of what we have with our States.
