I think this was a clear message: “Don’t sue the Supreme Court Justices for their official work, because we won’t even dignifiy it with a response.” Otherwise, they could have just voted not to hear it.
Supreme Court Justices are absolutely immune from suit for their official acts and decisions. All judges are. The remedy to a bad call by a judge is an appeal, not a collateral lawsuit.
Crank lawyers will file this shit anyway, because they’ve got no real dog in the fight. It isn’t as though they expect to win, much less to collect, and their sucker clients are footing the bill so what do they care?
Other plaintiffs named in the suit include the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Senators Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar, Cory Booker and Bernie Sanders, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, President Joe Biden, California Governor Gavin Newsom, actors George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Tesla Founder Elon Musk, singer Britney Spears and media expert Norah O’Donnell.
A pure shotgun blast of nonsense. It was a desperate grab for attention and, hey, I guess you got your article in Newsweek, so it succeeded. Hope it was worth whatever you paid.
You’re right except I don’t think this dude was looking for attention. I’ve seen these people around the courts. People with hundreds of civil lawsuits. People filing lawsuits with a straight face for trillions of dollars. I don’t think this dude has a lawyer, these types are usually pro se.
When you sit there reading the law over and over it’s like when you read a word over and over, and you might start to think it means something other than what it does. I think this dude is detached from reality to begin with when he reads these statutes and constitutions and whatnot, and then just strings a bunch of nonsense together. It’s like one of those people who think a group of people is following them and controlling their lives, and this dude just latched onto filing legal papers as an outlet for his crazy.
I agree though, where there’s a will, there’s lawyer who will draft the papers. I will argue that the other lawyer’s socks clash with his tie if that’s what you want and you pay my hourly rate.

In that case, I’m impressed he figured out how to manage a filing that made it all the way to the top court. Pro se cases get tossed in droves, simply because of the bureaucratic hurdles.
This dude is a semi pro. All he does is file lawsuits. Once you do it a couple of times it’s like an assembly line of document titles, magic words, and standards of proof.

The underlying case was dismissed on the papers by a district judge. It had no chance at trial and even less chance on appeal.
