It’s hard to sue when the courts have been, well, manipulated. I don’t know if this is really true, but in Amor Towles’ book “A Gentleman in Moscow,” he makes this comment about the Bolshevik’s Constitution: their “historic document had been crafted which guaranteed for all Russians freedom of conscience (Article 13), freedom of expression (Article 14), freedom of assemble (Article 15), and freedom to have any of these rights revoked should they be ‘utilized to the detriment of the socialist revolution’ (Article 23)!” That rings a bit ominously. How’s that liberty bell ringing now?
