***Hey Trumpsters, your Party is meeting to take away more of your freedoms next week!!!***

The House Judiciary Committee will meet February 15th to amend and vote on the Fairness in Class Action Litigation Act and the Asbestos Transparency Act (think of the Clear Skies Act allowing more pollution).

Last week the Committee considered the Lawsuit Abuse Reduction Act and the Innocent Party Protection Act and voted them out of Committee. Today they voted the Stop Settlement Slush Funds Act out of Committee.

These 5 Tort reform bills will be ready to go to the House floor next week in what they are calling "Lawsuit Abuse" week. A hearing entitled "Lawsuit Reform" had to be canceled and will be rescheduled as the House was not in session.

They do not want you to be able to ever sue a corporation!!! These bills are designed to protect corporations, plain and simple. How many saw any of this on the MSM?

AG nominee Jeff Session's biography disappearance from Lexis was a Russian hack!

I was corresponding with my Lexis representative about some work issues and I threw in a post script (P.S.) to ask how Session's bio could get wiped from Lexis. He responded by saying the Russians hacked them using a particular software to wipe data. He was serious!

Why would they want to help Sessions get in? Hmm, I wonder!
