Secondary benefits are that corporations would be benefited and would have more to be $ thankful $ to the GOP for.

Like most of his agenda, Bush's tort reform is not nearly as benign as he would have the public believe. A better understanding of it is available in Grover Norquist's article "The Democratic Party is Toast".

The whole article is interesting for a view of what to expect of this gang of thugs and why.

About tort reform he says,

"Trial lawyer money is now a major part of the Democratic Party, but it is wholly dependent on legislators and courts maintaining the present tort laws that allow lawyers to interject themselves into any and all contracts and relationships."

"They siphon off some $240 billion a year--$40 billion of which stays with a few thousand lawyers."

In other words, tort reform is really principally about weakening and killing off the Democratic Party.
