Episode Details

Tennessee lawmakers have tightened restrictions on citizens ability to challenge state laws they believe violate the Constitution. The new bill requires plaintiffs to demonstrate actual harm before filing a lawsuit, a change that has drawn criticism from both conservative and liberal groups. The attorney generals office advocated for the change to reduce the number of lawsuits they need to defend. Additionally, a new law allows the attorney generals team to quickly appeal or dismiss resident lawsuits, which critics argue will increase costs for ordinary people. These measures are expected to shift the balance of power towards the state and make it more difficult to challenge policies in court.
