“but it seems odd that someone wouldn’t be able to take a state to court for violating their constitutional rights.”
You CAN take a municipality to federal court for violating your civil rights. But losing a lawsuit isn’t a violation of constitutional rights per se. Now you can argue that the trial court did something wrong - unconstitutional even - but that has to be dealt with IN the appeals process. You can’t sue a court. You can’t sue a judge for doing judge-things, no matter how wrong they are.
so a court can just fine anyone and everyone 1 trillion dollars and since in NY you cant appeal without coming up with that much money. No one can appeal any ruling? how the hell is that constitutional? That is cruel and unusual punishment if I have ever seen it.
