Disagree

Yes, as long as the losing party pays all legal fees, it’s our constitutional right to sue anyone for any reason

While Taylor may agree with the principle of the right to sue, he is unlikely to support this specific application of it, given his general stance on gun rights. However, the inclusion of a provision for the losing party to pay all legal fees may make this position slightly more palatable to him.
