Hey, all,

Hopefully Lawhawk or some other legally-minded lizards can answer this:

One thing about the TX abortion vigilante law I’m not getting is the whole “YOU get to sue and YOU get to sue!” aspect of it. I always thought if you brought a lawsuit against someone, regardless of venue, you had to have standing in the case.

That strikes me as a common sense idea at the very minimum, if at least to try to keep nuisance lawsuits to a minimum. The TX law seems, to me, to throw all that out of the window. Like, if this law stands, it sets precedence that anyone can sue anyone, anywhere, even if you have zero connection to the case.

Shouldn’t that aspect of the TX law have caused it to be thrown out immediately? It basically turns the court system into a bigger free-for-all than it already is.
