Perry leery of national tort reform

This is a pretty surprising, but -- considering his states' rights views -- consistent take on tort reform.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry (about the five minute mark).

"I'm not sure I want national tort reform, because I'm a big proponent of the 10th Amendment.

If your state doesn't want to have a legal system that protects against frivolous lawsuits, that ought to be your choice. But it's also got to be the choice of your citizens to pack up and leave and come to the state of Texas."
