> So what do you call it when the wealthy and corporations exploit their opponent's inability to afford legal representation?

It's called a Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation.

It's also illegal in most states.

> A normal Tuesday in Amerika.

We already understood your derogatory outlook without it needing to be literal.

Anyways, that's why the founders gave us the First, Fourth, and Fifth amendments. It turns out, they recognized, the "law" is literally the worst mechanism for discovering truth and managing outcomes.

> Yes, the banality of tuesday terrorism.

It's terrorism because it has no logical conclusion nor any ability to positively benefit anyone's life, in particular, the person who would wield it. Your equivocation ignores this.
