>>>To trial lawyers, especially those involved in the tobacco litigation, Mr. Bush has become their worst nightmare. He has made attacks on lawyers a campaign centerpiece, pointing with pride to his record in Texas of curbing civil litigation, capping legal fees and limiting jury awards.

It has all been under the banner of tort reform, or what Mr. Bush said were efforts to rid the legal system of junk lawsuits.<<<


I think it says a lot about this issue and about Bush, that Bush made these promises, got power, and both houses of Congress, and did nothing.
