Here's the thing: There's not even the slightest smidgeon of doubt that SB-8 is unconstitutional. There isn't a scintilla of an argument that it can stand under current law. And nobody even tries to make one.

The only questions are procedural, because it is *expressly & intentionally* written to try to prevent courts from addressing the unconstitutionality of the law.

Texas' state government is expressly trying to trample people's constitutional rights. And the right is cheering

The right, which used to worry about "freedom" and "government overreach" is cheering "one neat trick that lets the state take away your freedom in a way the courts can't do anything about"

Because they don't like the right in question

And because they're fucking stupid enough not to realize that if this "one neat trick" works, it'll immediately be replicated by the left everywhere they can. Like your second amendment? Religious freedom? Bye-bye.

"We're not fining the nuns for not including abortion coverage in their health plans. We're just giving anyone negatively impacted a cause of action with $100,000,000 in statutory damages. Bake the cake or be sued." Etc. etc.

"Handguns are legal, but anyone who feels threatened by seeing you with one has a claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress, statutory damages, and attorneys fees ..."

You stupid, short-sighted, America-hating motherfuckers. Grow up.
