In Switzerland this would be «manifest abuse of a right». https://www.admin.ch/opc/en/classified-compilation/19070042/index.html#a2 https://www.admin.ch/opc/en/classified-compilation/19070042/... (art. 2 paragraph 2 of Swiss Civil Code: Acting in good faith). This is a common standard in many jurisdictions and an important element of the rule of law, so I think that in the US, if law is done right, a judge will identify such behaviour as abuse.
