So the defendants in the Texas lawsuit are listed below. Could somebody state why anybody on this list has committed any act warranting injunctive relief against them? None of the people listed even generated the legislation nor are any in any position to “prosecute” a case under this law since any such case would be a civil action between private entities?
I know they had to file suit against somebody. But nobody on this list would seem to qualify as committed this wrong?
