Pennsylvania Democrats Angry They Can Now be Sued for Passing Illegal Gun Laws

Many such Democrats said a provision forcing localities that lose lawsuits to pay the legal fees of the plaintiffs is particularly objectionable.

“This is a dangerous provision that threatens municipalities’ financial stability,” Rep. Madeleine Dean (D., Montgomery) told the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.
