ABC and PBUS decided on a new strategy lately -- suing the states doing bail reform. It must have seemed like a really good idea at the big PBUS meeting, right?
Yesterday, the judge issued an order denying the industry's request for preliminary injunction in the New Mexico case. And man, that judge denied it hard.
Each substantive claim by the industry is quickly and succinctly knocked down -- sometimes in only one or two double-spaced paragraphs. That's an omen of things to come if and when the industry decides to go to trial. That is, unless you all think the same substantive claim will somehow become rational or legally meritorious between now and then.
Keep up the great work ABC and PBUS! The more you sue the people doing bail reform, the less likely it is that anyone else will even consider including you in any solution.
