100. Apparently
It bothers this group tremendously:

http://www.edwardswatch.org

EdwardsWatch.org is a project of the American Tort Reform Association (ATRA). Founded in 1986, ATRA is a broad based, bipartisan coalition of more than 300 businesses, corporations, municipalities, associations, and professional firms who support civil justice reform. Click here for sample list of organizations that support liability reforms.

Unfortunately, once tort reform has been enacted, reform opponents usually undertake orchestrated attempts to repeal the law, or have it declared unconstitutional by state courts. ATRA monitors these developments as part of the Judicial Observer program, and mounts defensive responses as required. ATRA also submits amicus briefs when appropriate.

ATRA also works closely with local and statewide citizen-activist groups around the country called Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse.
