- argonaut 10y agoYes, that why I said "Ban wealthy people from financing lawsuits? That's never going to happen." Reinstitution of maintenance/champerty laws will never politically happen. It means banning donations to the ACLU or EFF or NRA or union legal fund, etc. Good luck with that politically.
