The 112th Congress should
- cite constitutional authority
before federalizing tort actions traditionally reserved to the
states,
- respect the laboratory of tort law
provided by the 50 states,
- expand the jurisdiction of the
federal courts over interstate class actions,
- pass the "Right to Choose Your
Lawyer Act" for class actions in federal court, and
- limit the rights of government
plaintiffs suing in federal court on behalf of private
parties.
