Torts Trumping Terrorism

Today’s one of those weird days where I spend a good deal of time deep in the bowels of the blog’s website, tending little odd jobs that have been needful for some weeks, and also adding a large amount of new content. (I’ll have more about the new content in the Ramble, tonight)

But coming up for air, I look around me and notice Bob Novak [1] correctly identifying the motivations of the Democrats in Congress:

The recess by House Democrats amounts to a judgment that losing the generous support of trial lawyers, the Democratic Party’s most important financial base, would be more dangerous than losing the anti-terrorist issue to Republicans.

In short, national security is of less import than re-electing the Democrat party.
