(145,168 posts)That lawsuit was drafted by a layperson and is so bad that any attorney signing their name to this petition would be facing sanctions from a federal judge. BTW, Section 1983 claims only applies to state actors or persons acting under the color of state law and the fruit of the poison tree doctrine has no application to anything but the exclusionary rule.
If these idiots find someone to file this lawsuit, let us know. I doubt that any lawyer will touch this case

(145,168 posts)I would love to see the final lawsuit given who badly the first draft was. A law student who submitted that pleading to his professor would be counseled about the opportunities in the food service industry

https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/4coq7w/lawsuit_filed_against_bill_clinton_for/ You have to have plaintiffs to have a lawsuit (the courts have no jurisdiction unless their is a case or controversy) and this draft is still unsigned.
No lawyer would sign this piece of dreck and file it in federal court. Federal judges lack a sense of humor and anyone stupid enough to file this case would be sanctioned.

(145,168 posts)The lawsuit is really poorly drafted. The named plaintiff is not a member of any bar that I could find.
Even pro se plaintiffs risk sanctions for filing petitions this stupid and poorly drafted. I hope that this pro se plaintiff is not in law school because this is the type of filing that will haunt her if she tries to be admitted to any bar association. Any law student who submitted this piece of dreck to their teacher would be advised to look at careers in another field.
This silly pro se plaintiff has better hope that she has a federal judge who is tolerant of her ignorance of the law

(94,519 posts)I downloaded the filing; while the complaint is type-written, the accompanying materials all appear to be hand-written.
