Or, the sensibilities of the judges are offended that someone might be injured on public property but it might nonetheless be THE FUCKING FULLY INTENDED OUTCOME OF THE LAW that they have no remedy, and therefore they find "triable issues." Because it takes a special kind of judicial courage to admit that legislatures write laws that are occasionally supposed to apply even when they are injurious to individual interests but beneficial to collective ones. It makes my heart sing to read appellate opinions that say "Plaintiff's argument is best directed to the legislative branch."
