Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, who made his fortune as a trial lawyer, says attorneys should have to show their medical malpractice cases have merit before filing them.

He also said attorneys with a history of frivolous suits should be barred from filing new cases.

Maybe if he sold the fantasyland house he built in Orange County (with all of the profits he made from suing doctors) I would take Mr. Edwards more seriously.

You don’t take people who make money by being very good at what they do seriously? (Yes, I know you think all the verdicts of cases you know nothing about were bogus, blah blah blah)
