W ill Republicans in Congress never learn that backing legislation to expand litigation opportunities for the class action plaintiffs ‘bar simply pours money into the Democrats’ campaign coffers? The question arises yet again because of the bill recently moved forward by the Senate Judiciary Committee to amend the False Claims Act. The proposal would encourage even more frivolous lawsuits by profiteering class action plaintiffs’ lawyers, while hurting the small and medium-size businesses and contractors that are the job-creating backbone of the economy. The bill’s main sponsor is Iowa Republican Sen. Charles Grassley. A second powerful GOP patron is Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania. Knowing a great opportunity to weaken Republicans when they see it, liberal Democratic Sens. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, Richard Durbin of Illinois and Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island are co-sponsors.
