Bush and his idiot brigade are all over TV saying Edwards is bad because he wins huge awards for his clients.

Edwards doesn't make the awards, the VOTERS OF NORTH CAROLINA do because the voters of NC are the ones who sit on juries.

2. Not to mention the power to reduce the award under remittitur
Remittitur being a judge's order reducing a judgment awarded by a jury when the award exceeds the amount asked for by the plaintiff (person who brought the suit).
