Private rights of action are not disturbing and I believe you feel that way because you only hear about them in the context of heretical anti-abortion or puritanical prudishness. Both of which are only supported by those nasty others.
I, at least, am unwilling to surrender my hipaa private right of action or my securities fraud private rights of action or my ADA private rights of action. How about Epic's right of private action against Apple? Believe it or not, but there's a private right of action against monopolies.
No one is a vigilante because they sue a business over being handicap inaccessible.
- Terr_ 3y agoNo, if someone's saying it's all about private rights of action, that's a strawman which ignores: 1. The radical removal of standing requirements. Since when did laws like HIPAA or the ADA ever allow totally random people to sue a hospital "on your behalf", let alone be able to demand $10k from the target to keep it all for themselves!? 2. The farcical idea that regular checks-and-balances and judicial-review don't apply, simply because the legislature claims it delegated alllll enforcement to private individuals, despite still being responsible for, y'know, making the dang law.
