Re the Nonhuman Rights Project…how do these people avoid sanctions?
Why isn’t TCPA subject to background principles of law in terms of making oneself a “victim” etc. Courts of justice are not supposed to be party to such things.

That may well be true, but we have courts of law, not courts of justice.
