LAWPROF: Sue Protesters Blocking Access At Trump Rallies.

One of the nation’s top lawyers and legal activists, reacting to the protesters blocking highways leading to a Saturday Donald Trump presidential rally, is suggesting that the candidate’s foes be sued to stop. He’s even suggesting that Trump fund the suits.

George Washington University Professor John Banzhaf, said the class action-style of suits could shut down the violent protests.

“Using the threat of legal actions is a far better and more American way of deterring illegal protests than engaging in physical violence against them, as some Trump supporters have apparently already done,” he said.

Banzhaf, a legal activist with many successes under his belt, issued his comments after seeing the scenes of highway roadblock protests of Trump’s Arizona rally on TV.

He said “suing the bastards” can be an effective tactic.

He compared his proposal to another he was involved in, the class action lawsuits brought by people stuck in the traffic jams on New York’s George Washington Bridge caused by aides to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

Silly man. It’s different when you sue Republicans. More seriously, though, there is a lot of coordination among people and groups with sufficient assets to be worth suing here. And the discovery would be delicious.
