Confused

 

I'm not a lawyer, so I don't understand why the Texas abortion law does not involve public officials to enforce it.  If someone sues me, and I just ignore them, how can the lawsuit have any effect w/o public officials to enforce it?

i think the court awards your money to the plaintiff...

here's a story about a con-man still on parole suing a Texas doctor who stands to make a lot of money if he wins..

don't ask me to explain how that makes any sense, though..

But the law is supposed to be about there not being public officials to be sued for enforcing it. So how could the awarding of the money be enforced?
As you said, it doesn't make any sense.
