Miller v Bonta SAF sues CA on new law designed to cool 2A Lawsuits

[krucam]

Currently US Section 1983 & 1988 provide payment to successful challenges to unconstitutional laws, from the losing party. CA crafted a new law that will require a plaintiff in an unsuccessful lawsuit, to pay the State. Essentially icing potential litigation.

I remember when the Acid rain or global cooling wait global warming errr ummmm climate change people used to say California is one good earthquake away from falling into the ocean.

If the state GAF about its citizens, this law would be the exact inverse. Lawmakers/goverments would have to pay for passing and enforcing BS that is challenged and found to be unconstitutional.

Saw that thread in the Water Cooler after posting this. It should be in the Nat’l 2A thread I believe, not WC. Merge perhaps?

Curious though, does this law work with other things or limited to the 2A?

I wonder because you also have our folks getting sued repeatedly by the government who can throw endless resources at them and they end up getting bankrupted just trying to defend themselves (General Flynn for one). What happens though when they can successfully defend themselves and have their legal fees paid for?
