Well, the first would be bounty hunter is "gonna" sue a doctor who performed an abortion in Texas under the dictates of
SB.8. Seems he might need the money given the fact he can't practice law these days.
To whit ...
‘Cranky’ Disbarred Lawyer Sues Texas Doc Who Broke Abortion Ban
“A libertarian sorta fella" tells the Beast that he’s suing an abortion provider to test the new law—and “if there's money to be had, it's going to go in Oscar's pocket.”
Oscar Stilley, a 58-year-old Arkansas man, got up early on Monday morning and decided to sue Dr. Alan Braid, the San Antonio doctor who's openly defied Texas' state ban on most abortions.
"I was cranky," Stilley joked. "So I filed a lawsuit."
"That's a fine payday," said Stilley, but the cash is only part of why he filed the complaint against Braid.
Stilley said he's been watching the saga unfold from his home in Arkansas. "I know what the proponents of this law are doing," he explained. "They're trying to inject uncertainty so that the doctors are going to say, 'Oh, my goodness, this could bankrupt me.'"
A sterling citizen to be sure.
In his complaint, Stilley describes himself as "a disbarred and disgraced former Arkansas lawyer" currently "on home confinement" from prison, where he's 11 years and 5 months into a 15-year sentence for tax evasion and conspiracy.
In Stilley's words, his sentence is a product of having gotten "crossways with the tax division." (Prior to that, he was a lawyer for 19 years, during which time he was also jailed twice on charges of contempt.)
It's just the beginning as the US doesn't have loser pays.
