My point is that Donehue's argument is based on a fallacy. Any state in the country can identify an area or two where juries can be more easily manipulated; that doesn't in and of itself mean there's a need for comprehensive "tort reform."
Simply put, a handful of high-priced payouts does not prove that tort reform is overdue. Donehue's merely playing up a hot button issue to generate support for tort reform legislation.
