Rob Bishop: “So adding that as something to improve the system doesn't improve the system at all. It is nothing. What we need to do…”

So adding that as something to improve the system doesn't improve the system at all. It is nothing. What we need to do is actually implement those. And you are right. Once again, even my home State, the legislature once again is addressing on a State issue that concept of tort reform and litigation limitations. It is essential, and we need to do that. That is one of the issues on which I think both parties could easily come together and make a resolution, if we were allowed to discuss real litigation reform. But, once again, that is not on the table. That is not discussable on the floor, if 'discussable' is a word, which it probably isn't.
