By malpractice reform, do you mean tort limit caps, or something different?

That’s a fair point. Integrity is dead.

I don’t think it’s dead, just very poorly off. I do think that every decision made by a politician is some parts pure politics, some parts money-politics— getting the money to get re-elected— and some part actually doing what they think is right.

I do think that there’s far too much money streaming into the system for integrity to play as large a role as it should, but the solution to that isn’t entirely clear. It’s hard to limit without limiting necessary free speech, as well.
