Scandal-Scarred S.C. Senator Received Personal Loan From Powerful Trial Lawyer

FITS, you are naive, hypocritical, or both.
I know nothing about Leber or anyone else’s alleged infidelities; but in general I do not understand how anyone can believe that the more sex partners you have, the happier you will be.
Human beings are created monogamous; and any life style which deviates from strict monogamy in marriage and celibacy outside marriage calls for misery regardless of political and/or legal implications.
There are true joys and exultations in the self-respect of celibacy followed or not by monogamous marriage, and even faith to to a departed spouse in widowhood.
That said, it isn’t the trial lawyers alone which legislators look to satisfy; it is the public which dreams of winning a big law suit as it dreams of winning the lottery.
Remember? David Beasley lost re-election for his opposition to the lottery. I have never seen a happier South Carolina lawyer, though, than David Beasley when the World Food Organization, which Nikki Haley had appointed David Beasley to head won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Whether the Nobel is better than reelection or not is for another debate.
The point here is that the larger public, in their hearts, want to keep the possibility of windfall payouts; and politicians know it.
And the dreams of large payouts from which lawyers take a large cut keep people taking student loans to go to law schools even though getting a job which requires a law degree upon graduating law school is no more assured than winning a lottery upon merely buying a ticket.
So, dreams, not self-prostituting lobbyists, are the motivators of politicians who oppose tort reform.
Heck! Doesn’t YOUR outlet depend on advertisements from lawyers selling dreams of large payouts?
