What I was thinking was to have the merits of the case reviewed somehow before being allowed to flood someone with discovery requests, dragging case out with extensions, etc. in order to drown someone in legal fees and take up all their time. There'd still be a lot of caveats.
Like you say though, if the attorneys had more on the line, it would likely take a huge dent out of this stupidity.
The problem with that idea is that it presumes a neutral and even court and law system.
When instead the moment it comes to pass it'll just say "LGBT is understood as sacrosanct, your case against the School transitioning your daughter against your will is dismissed as meritless and offensive." You'll never get the chance to plead your case to possible regular people on a jury or otherwise, it'll just be a judge or other deciding to dismiss you on their own opinions and politics.
Like a lot of things in the legal system, it seems horrible and that it should be fixed because of how it gets abused, but its in place to give the innocent and just a fighting chance against a system that would be stacked against them.
That's reasonable. If some dummy wants to spend his own money and time to represent himself in court then let him. With the requirement to pay the defendants fees when the case is dropped.
