Reply #57: Robert Bork is probably the strongest single supporter of "tort reform"..

[Fumesucker]

And yet when he fell off a stage thanks to his own clumsiness he sued for $1 million..

Robert Bork , the one-time U.S. Supreme Court nominee, has sued the Yale Club for negligence. He is seeking $1 million in damages for injuries he sustained from a fall at the club last year. Here’s a copy of the complaint

Bork was at the Yale Club last June to speak at an event sponsored by The New Criterion, a monthly review of the arts and intellectual life. According to the suit filed in federal court in Manhattan, the club failed to provide steps and a handrail to climb onto the dais. Bork fell backward as he was attempting to climb the dais, striking his leg on the stage and his head on a heat register, the suit says.

Basically those who advocate for "tort reform" are hypocrites of the highest order because as soon as *they* are injured the first thing that happens is they file a lawsuit against someone.
