Edwards, Juries: "Democracy in Action"

SHORT article on why we need to keep our right to a civil trial by jury and Edwards' plan on 'frivolous' lawsuits.

"I can tell you from long experience that it is not. Before I was elected to the United States Senate, I spent nearly two decades as a lawyer standing up for people who needed a voice. During that time, I worked on hundreds of cases, big and small. I’m proud of the work I did, and the people I represented. There was nothing frivolous about the families who came to me for help. Like the Campbells, many were in very difficult places in their lives. Often, they found themselves up against powerful opposition—insurance companies, large corporations—who had armies of lawyers to represent them. Giving them a chance for justice was very important to me."

Mods: I posted this in GD but it was dropping like a rock. If you want to lock the dupe, please lock that one so that this might have a chance to get read.

3. It's on my list

I'm reading Enemy Aliens about the abuses by this Administration and they go far beyond the Patriot Act. Alot of things they've done have nothing to do with the Patriot Act. It's kind of grinding to wade through. Not a page turner, that's for sure. I bet Edwards' book is, definitely one I'm looking forward to!
