I don't think there is any fundamental right to sue private parties in the US. If you find it, please post about it.

- MereInterest 9y agoFirst, as a non-lawyer, I would say that it is implied by the Seventh Amendment. Second, your premise is flawed, as according to the Ninth Amendment, there can be fundamental rights that are not explicitly listed.

- jasonzemos 9y agoThe bill of rights merely lists some rights that you already have even without the bill of rights. They are called natural rights -- in fact the bill is a limit on government, not a grant to the people from government. That being said, the constitution has established an independent judiciary which has little limit to what matters it can opine. You have a right to petition that judiciary. You're somewhat correct in that you don't have a right for them to listen.
- Chaebixi 9y ago> That being said, the constitution has established an independent judiciary which has little limit to what matters it can opine. I don't think that's actually true. IANAL, but IIRC the jurisdiction of the federal judiciary is quite limited compared to that of the states.
