Papantonio: The US Chamber’s Litigation Machine

For years the US Chamber of Commerce has been releasing phony reports warning Americans that frivolous, junk lawsuits are clogging our court systems, causing prices of insurance, consumer goods, and everything else under the sun to rise. But while they were working to keep you out of the courts, they were filing dozens of lawsuits on behalf of their corporate cronies – in fact, in 2009 they averaged one lawsuit filing every 3 days. Mike Papantonio talks about why the Chamber secretly loves litigation with Linda Lipsen, the CEO of the American Association for Justice.
