So out of touch.
Majority of Americans do not have the finances, free time and connections to sue anyone they please. Not to mention, why are private party cases the solution to state actions?
Ham head.
Right. And even if we did all have civil rights lawyers on retainer, it still would not matter. The courts have decided that in almost all circumstances, federal agents have immunity for their actions, no matter how horrible. Torture? Assault? Sure thing, it's all covered, your lawsuit will fail.
Heck, your lawyer already knows it will fail, so they won't even file it.
That's reality. There are no checks on federal agents, unless it's identical to the one single case on file, Bivens. So you gotta pray that you live in Brooklyn and the Federal Bureau of Narcotics raids your house without a warrant. If that's you, then you will win your lawsuit. Any other situation and you're just fucked.
Class action is needed
Doesn't matter. The courts have already granted the feds immunity for everything except for cases identical to Bivens. File as many lawsuits as you want, and you'll just waste money on legal fees before losing them all.
I think that is infact why he said this, also there is always going to be him saying no to all of it and wasting all that money. (i.e. soon to be the courts slush fund)
He knows that.... But as long as you can say there is a path.... It makes all his Nazi bullshit okay in his mind
