VP Choice Wants Lawsuits Over English Jim Boulet, Executive Director of English First, writes that Sen. John Edwards (D-NC), the flamboyant presumptive Democratic nominee for Vice-President, has "the most specifically anti-English record of any of Kerry's possible running mates." Boulet quotes Edwards telling the Mexican-American Legal Defense and Education Fund in June 2003: "I'd start with a National Medical Translation System. . . 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, translators on call." Boulet points out that Edwards is a trial lawyer who made millions by suing businesses. Says Boulet, "Every translation error by a hospital-paid employee can become grounds for a costly lawsuit something unlikely to happen if the 'translator' is also a friend or family member."
