Yeah, I think that's right. But I also feel like I think the law firms are a good example of this. Even if it goes nowhere... the chilling effect is huge.

At the end of the day, I'm still an institutionalist, so I still think, you know what? Good luck making a criminal case on Chris Krebs. You want to have a trial on whether there was fraud in the election? Well, the last time the courts dealt with this, you lost 60 cases on that.
