"You won't hear many tort reformers admit it. They've done too good a job demonizing trial lawyers to let their bogeymen fade away. Twenty years ago, tort reform was an obscure movement with a funny name; today, politicians speak of "ending lawsuit abuse" or "eliminating frivolous lawsuits" -- tort reform by more felicitous names -- whenever they need a failsafe applause line. The movement's success has been a public relations masterpiece."
