I have this whole theory, wch I can't get distracted by, which is that LLMs are going to make traditional written policy consultations completely pointless. AI will write the submissions, AI will read the submissions then play back the statistically most likely series of words

This used to be Politics 101, but we've become so confused about what parliamentary democracy is that it's now regarded as some kind of humiliation if elected representatives get to influence policy.

A counter-claim here would be a last resort. The objective should be to extract BBC from litigation, not tie it in more messily and expensively.
A counterclaim would give Trump all the rights of a defendant as well as a plaintiff.
Would be a nightmare, given his litigation game playing.
