Thompson's Tort Trouble

Ramesh Ponnuru points out that Fred Thompson has not been a wholly reliable advocate of tort reform.

This, by itself, is nothing more than what it is. What's troubling, however, is when it's combined with Thompson's support for campaign finance reform. Conservatives need to be careful -- very careful -- that they're not putting their eggs in a basket that may turn out to be more troublesome than they suspected.

And on that note, it would be reassuring to hear more from Thompson's doctor about his medical condition -- past, present and projected future.
