This issue is much broader than abortion rights, says Banzhaf, since, as several justices noted, a similar statute prohibiting the private ownership
Strangely Absent From Supreme Court Abortion Argument; Could States Adopt Similar Laws to Ban Voting By Black Citizens? Q3 2021 hedge fund letters, conferences and more WASHINGTON, D.C. (November 1,2021) – Strangely absent from this morning’s Supreme Court arguments – on whether various plaintiffs can sue to block a Texas law which permits private citizens to enforce an arguably unconstitutional ban on most abortions – was any mention of a legal procedure which would permit such private citizens to be sued themselves, therefore providing a possible alternative remedy for plaintiffs, argues public interest law professor John Banzhaf, who has himself created several novel legal remedies. The issue of an alternative legal remedy for testing the legality of Texas’s SB 8 is central, since plaintiffs’ arguments are largely based upon the claim that their unusual law suits must be permitted because there are no other feasible remedies for testing the constitutionality of the Texas’ unique statute, nor of deterring the possible endless chain of law suits which are effectively depriving women of their constitutional right to an abortion in that state.
