Advertisements [?]
WASHINGTON (July 9, 8:23 a.m. ADT) - Senate Democrats won their fight Wednesday to bottle up legislation limiting damage awards in medical malpractice cases, all but dooming a measure that President Bush made a priority. The vote was 49-48, 11 short of the 60 needed to overcome the Democratic-led filibuster. GOP aides said in advance that Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., was prepared to pull the bill from the floor if it failed the test vote, but said the issue would return, either in Congress or the 2004 elections. ---  |
