Judges Gone Wild . . .
. . . This time in Wisconsin, where the local Supreme Court ruled that legislated caps on "pain and suffering" damages in medical malpractice were unconstitutional. Why, pray tell? Because the judges found no "rational basis" for the law; in other words, there was no logical link between the damage limits and lowering medical costs or insurance premiums.
Unbelievable. The bastards also carefully justified their decision only by reference to the state constitution, thereby preempting any appeal to the Federal courts. Sheesh. (Via Instapundit.)

There is no limit to the dishonesty that shysters will use to protect their sources of income and power. What could be more irrational than to have shysters determine what medicine should be, in utter defiance of the knowledge gained by those who actually work in that field? In order to protect this ruinous orgy of unreason, in which lawyers get to double and redouble the cost of medical treatments, the judges try to establish it as religion that the lawyers' shystering activities cannot be to blame for this. They are so irrational, that to them rational means shysterable.
