The article discusses the susceptibility of the U.S. government to lawsuits filed by individuals and organizations, highlighting its history of settling significant cases amounting to substantial payouts. Examples include a $70 million settlement related to discrimination in federal employment, and over $1.1 million per victim in a sexual misconduct case at a California women's prison. The cyclical nature of underfunding and legal challenges is noted, where insufficient staff enforcement leads to violations and lawsuits, further draining resources.
The U.S. government can be sued and has paid millions for rights violations, such as settlement funds to victims of sexual misconduct in prisons.
