Just ONE State Could Unwind Texas's Law

31. The premise in this thread is absolutely spot on...

Forget what you think you know about constitutionally protected activities granted by our federal constitution. These actions protect citizens against actions by state actors. The Texas law has pulled back the thin veneer of these protections and has allowed the constitutionally protected activities to be controlled by bypassing the constitution completely and creating a common law tort centered around activities that enable abortions.

So be it. If this is the constitutional model that the Federalist society wants to be the norm for the rest of this century then bring it on. If they are now saying that the federal constitution is no longer primary then let's create torts that allows citizens to litigate and sue to collect damages in the case of federal bribery (aka lobbying activities) or perhaps it could be come a tort to transport or sell firearms. Or on the other side perhaps it becomes a tort to offer food and water to people that are standing in line to cast their vote.

The possibilities are literally endless.

It has been an unstated goal of the Republicans and the Federalist society to weaken the power of the trial lawyers... It looks like they don't care about that any more.
