Sequoyah's founder was Marc Nuttle, the man who brought us Pat Robertson's 1988 presidential campaign. At one time they featured former Republican National Committee chief of staff Tom Cole as their senior tort "reform" advisor.<BR/><BR/>Last time I checked -- and admittedly it's been awhile -- JEI's spokesmodel and "legal advisor" was a lawyer by the name of John McMackin, who earned his wings lobbying for tort "reform" on behalf of asbestos product manufacturers. If memory serves, one of JEI's directors doubles as a Heritage Foundation trustee. <BR/><BR/>Bottom line: this is going to get a lot uglier, but y'all already surmised that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506514005426983269.post-35945352339528750032008-02-09T15:02:00.000-06:002008-02-09T15:02:00.000-06:00Judicial Evaluation Institute: an "independent" o...Judicial Evaluation Institute: an "independent" organization! <I>Independently</I> funded by the Chamber of Commerce, that is, and committed to the conclusion that lawsuits are out of hand <I>independently</I> of any specific data.<BR/><BR/>It's the legal/policy version of Cargo Cult science, and a beautiful example of the power of money. Money lets you create this sort of political holo-deck, then issue news reports from it. <BR/><BR/>It is sheer crass dishonesty; and the question is not who does or does not carefully parse their statements so as to not quite utter the dishonesty themselves, but rather who stands up to be counted with, or counted against, the people who promulgate it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506514005426983269.post-63480356687162474892008-02-09T14:20:00.000-06:002008-02-09T14:20:00.000-06:00Not being a member of the ABA, nor having the expe...Not being a member of the ABA, nor having the experience or eductation of yourself, and being but just a lay person, even I noted how skewed their sense of reality is.<BR/><BR/>They declared Ziegler to be a traditionalist. Even looking beyond the fact that she has only had her seat bought for her, but she enters her position under a cloud of doubt, given her poor ethics. If they consider traditionalism to be the ability to be bought and sold, and to have the lack of intestinal fortitude to decide appropriate behaviors on something besides a "gut check" I would rather have an activist.capperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751967312821403092noreply@blogger.com
