True, they have lost a few. However, this has also opened my eyes to a fact that I simply did not believe could be true in the US. While the cases that opened my eyes to this ugly fact are against states and not the federal government, it seems to be true on the federal level too. In Illinois and I think in Michigan, store owners took their states governor’s to court over the Executive orders closing businesses. They won. Great! Hallelujah! We won! So all stores can reopen, right? Nope. Only the store who were party to the lawsuits could reopen. For other stores to reopen they too would have to raise the funds for lawyers and take the governors to court and win. These losses on the part of the government do no more than give a plaintiff against the government a ruling they can cite in court on their behalf in the hopes of winning but only if they first have the funds for the legal challenge and survive the standing hearings. It has been nothing short of traumatic to realize that these wins were of no use to myself nor to most others. I have helped fund a legal challenge against FATCA in Canada. The amount I sent, in cash in envelopes and probably in violation of laws in the three countries involved, was nothing compared to the over all cost of the Charter Challenge but a huge sum for me at the time. After these past 3 years, I am even worse off. We lost both the first round and on appeal. The damage to that nation’s financial sector if they upheld the rights of Canadians born in the US who moved with their Canadian parents to Canada as young children was deemed of greater import than the rights of Canadians.
