Sen. Lee Introduces Constitutionally Sound Tort Reform
Jul 20, 2018
“For too long, trial lawyers have been able to manipulate the diversity jurisdiction rules to deny litigants their day in federal court,” Sen. Lee said. “By creating a minimal diversity requirement consistent with the vision of the very first Congress, this bill increases out-of-state litigants access to the federal courts for major controversies. By returning to first principles, we can increase both fairness and efficiency in the civil litigation system.”

Sharing the Defense Burden
Jul 13, 2018
President Trump may have offended some of our allies this week when he delivered a stern message reminding them of their unmet defense spending promises, but it was not a message they haven’t head before.
"If we’ve got collective defense,” then-President Obama said at a 2014 NATO press conference in Brussels, “it means that everybody’s got to chip in, and I have had some concerns about a diminished level of defense spending among some of our partners in NATO. Not all, but many.”
