Is John Edwards trying to atone for his past? Personal injury lawyer Eric Turkewitz sees Edwards selling out:
I have no problem with sanctions for those that bring frivolous suits. And for those that bring frivolous defenses (like blaming the patient for an injury that happened while she was under anesthesia.) Frivolous claims of any kind hurt everyone concerned and should be sanctioned.But the concept that a case must be proven before it is even started will work only to close the courthouse doors even further.
Either Edwards has completely capitulated to the money of the health care industry at the expense of the downtrodden he claims to represent, or he needs someone to proof-read the policy statements that go out under his name.
