Funny how litigation in the United States being based on the idea that access to the courts to redress grievances being fundamental for a civil society then causes that very same society to go out of its way to deny those rights to others.

Fairly incredible actually if you think about it for a while.

Not sure what the subject of that sentence was; it appears to be passive (and actorless) in the first part but the dependent clause (after "then") seems active voice.

What or whom is causing society to go out of its way...? Litigation?
