Tort Reform Passes House.
Last week, the Senate passed class action reform (part of tort reform).
This week, the House of Representatives followed suit, 279-149 (6 not voting).
The measure was supported by 50 Democrats, while only one Republican opposed it. Uncharacteristically living up to his name, California Representative John T. Doolittle voted against it.
Doolittle, a Republican Party loyalist (the 6th ranking Republican House member) and typically conservative on the issues, deviated from reformers on this measure.
The measure now heads to the President's desk, where it will likely be signed sometime in the next week.
