They have,
Why else do you think trial lawyers are the largest capaign donors.
Trial lawyers gave 120 million in campaign contributions in the 2006 congressional elections alone.
Making them the largest donar indusrty group by far.
Compare that 120 million, to other industries that people think donate the most.
Oil indusrty - 20 million
Insurance industry - 30 million
Pharmacutical industry - 20 million
And those are the four largest political donars in the US.
.
So im not gonna cry for the lawyers.
They aren't donating that 120 million out of the goodness of thier hearts.

Uh? You do know that most politicians are lawyers too?
No matter how much the law changes to accomplish "tort reform", there will always be plenty of work for trial lawyers. All you have to do is read the questions on YA to know that!
So, no need to "defend" themselves. Their careers are secure.
