The Bush conspiracy
Bush has unilaterally undermined much of American tradition of fair play and individual protection protected by the "Rule of Law" protection. He has done so by unsupervised listening to our conversations. He has determined that it is okay to hold people for years who have been convicted of nothing and will never be convicted in many cases because of a dearth of proof. He has secretly authorized torture. Now he is using the tricks of his administration to circumvent both Congress and the Courts by taking away the rights of citizens injured or killed by the Railroad to seek recompense by our court system. Railroad companies later this month will be immune from state tort lawsuits under a so-called 'midnight regulation that the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) has adopted which is included in the final rule of the rail transportation security measure that the TSA, which is part of the US Department of Homeland Security, published in the Nov. 26 Federal Register. The rule takes effect Dec. 26. The Bush Administration has used the premise in numerous other regulations that state tort lawsuits are impliedly preempted by federal law, but Congress in a 2007 measure related to a train accident expressed that it did not intend to preempt state tort claims.
There is no justice or logic in this sweep of Federal preemption except to save insurance while those victimized by the negligence of the Railroad suffer helplessly.
What are your thoughts about judicial and political efforts we can make to preserve state law which protects victims of negligence and dangerous products?
