> A related angle is trying to get such laws passed, to discourage similar cases in the future
Who is going to sponsor such a law? The same representatives that are paid by the lobbyists of the corporations the laws are targeting?
Some legislators - perhaps honest idealists, perhaps those being paid more by lawyers specializing in such lawsuits - do work at getting such laws passed.
You're telling me you think there are >50% of congress critters and senators that are not on the take?
1) No, and 2) Irrelevant. State laws are made by state legislators.
Considering the endless vistas of billboards advertising lawyers for personal injury lawsuits and such in my part of Michigan - I feel pretty sure that >50% of our legislators are enrolled in those lawyers' "gratitude programs".
