Again. You’re angry and asking for vengeance. The legal system isn’t for that. Constitutional rights should never be able to be removed.

Can you imagine if we allowed someone’s entire right to the courts be removed? In that instance, you wouldn’t even be able to challenge your lack of rights. That’s not right. But by advocating for no access to the courts in one instance, there will be people advocating for more. So we draw the line somewhere and say your right to the courts can’t be taken away.

I’m also ignoring how you’re ignoring the actual reality of the Prenda scandal. It wasn’t over copyright infringements lawsuits. It was about lying to the court. Sure, they filed frivolous lawsuits, but that wasn’t why they were arrested.
