2. No ideas myself, but there are greater minds.

I hope someone can come up with something to beat the freaking Republicans at their own game. There's got to be a loophole in this somewhere.

If I'm understanding the "bounty" correctly, and that's questionable because I've not seen anything that really sets out the boundaries for it - - if someone turns in a woman, that someone must pay to sue (themselves), and they only get the $10,000 if they win the lawsuit. I'm not clear whether some of the crazy whacko religious groups would give someone money to finance a lawsuit. We won't know, of course, until this is actually tested.

But I'm anxious to hear if DU'ers have ideas. We definitely need to be thinking outside of the box.
