Never bet against the stupidity or vanity of the judiciary.

A lot of assumptions I hold fail me. One that does not is a firm belief the greatest incentive on Earth is the promise of work avoidance. And, of course, that incentive becomes increasingly powerful as the nature of the work sought to be avoided becomes increasingly annoying.
This law will irritate the shit out of judges. Imagine the forum change applications, discovery disputes, heavy handed attempts to drag medical professionals into depositions. Fucking disaster. Everything will be appealed. And nobody will back down because there will be private donor money backing both plaintiffs and defendants.
Sure, a few disgusting judges who like to legislate from the bench and have no respect for women will rule in ways that assist the vile aims of this statute. But the majority of people I've known from TX are not crazy. They tend to be decent, sane folks. Maybe I'm nuts, but I don't see many of the judges, a majority of whom hail from normal areas filled with normal Texans who respect women, and desire a functional court system, supporting this abusive kind of shit. And I certainly don't see this nonsense legislation surviving after someone finds a way to challenge it within a case before a federal judge who is not a member of the Federalist Society and closeted John Birch admirer.
