side note: This seems to be how tort reform is unfolding in almost every state with tort reforms laws that cap non-economic damage on the books—court overturns legislation; legislators re-legislate.

House Majority Leader Jerry Keen said Tuesday that lawmakers would “react and react quickly” if the Georgia Supreme Court struck down any part of the 2005 overhaul.
