THOUGHTS ON federalism and tort reform. “Although the article mistakenly labels Randy as a ‘conservative’ (he is in fact an even more consistent libertarian than I am), I’m happy to see that his critique is having an impact. Hopefully, at least some Republican conservatives will begin to see that you can’t advocate strict limits on federal power with one hand while trying to impose sweeping federal control over state tort law with the other.”

Meanwhile, I believe I coined the term “Fair-weather Federalism.”
