PHILADELPHIA AP – Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton proposed several remedies to the nation’s home mortgage problems Monday, including one tool more often associated with Republicans than Democrats.
The New York senator proposed greater protections for lenders from possible lawsuits by investors, a variation of so-called tort reform. For years, GOP leaders have called for restrictions on what they consider unwarranted lawsuits against businesses. Democrats often have resisted them on grounds they limit injured parties’ legitimate rights to redress.
