This is racketeering at its finest. The enviro-weenies strike again, but maybe RICO could stop them. Hmmm.

California property rights ping!

Seems to me the people being sued had input into government decisions the developer bringing suit didn't like.

If he had any cojones he'd be suing the government, not the employees.

I would imagine this happened because the developer's lawyer neglected to research the matter to discover that the government generally will provide legal counsel to it's employees (or witnesses or contractors) who are sued by third parties in such cases.

This happens. I've been hit with bluebacked paper right at my desk which I simply forwarded up through channels to counsel. Never thought about it again. There is, of course, a never-ending supply of stupid lawyers who will keep trying this trick in the hope that a federal judge can be tricked.

There's way too much development in California and way too many people as it is.

Wouldn't bother me if they prohibited the chopping down of even a single California tree again.

Why can't we file another RICO suit against the people in the Justice Dept. to prevent them from defending these racketeers?
