Nope. Thank goodness the only ones of us that have to 'specialize' are patent lawyers. I am a "real" one last I checked though, which is all I was saying. Was not trying to be an expert either. The state action point I was making related to suing any non-governmental body (state actor) on equal protection grounds, there are typically state action requirements. Constitutional rights we are discussing are protected against infringement by state actors. Are there ways to get around it in the US Code? Absolutely. I was merely making a point about suing any company, person, non-state actor like they are indeed a governmental entity, it just isn't that straightforward, because they aren't the gov't.
