Before the past year, I had to explain to people the legal system allows you to sue somebody because they think you stole all the cheese from the moon. All you need is the filing fee. Winning, on the other hand obviously happens far less often. Most of these cases don’t even seem to be designed to be winnable. The sole purpose appears to be generate campaign material, and the inevitable loss is then used to show how much of a victim of an oppressive government they are. If the integrity of the judicial system wasn’t at stake, it would be funny. I’m not laughing.
