House passes frivolous lawsuit bill

This is why I wince every time I even think about supporting a Democrat for public office:

Democrats did succeed in blocking another bill, which would have provided youth athletic leagues, school athletic associations and other nonprofit sports groups immunity from lawsuits if the harm did not involve willful or criminal misconduct.

Basically, these bozos think it's perfectly acceptable for parents to sue the Little League pitcher that beaned their boy with an out of control fastball. Not only are they out to stifle youth sports, but even the playground must be redesigned for safety and accomodation of everybody.

House Republicans pushed through legislation Tuesday aimed at reducing frivolous lawsuits.
