> They've filed it in the "conservative cases do well here!" fifth circuit

Inaccurate, and lacked context.

Texas is in the Fifth Circuit. There's literally nowhere else they could file a suit.

And nothing's been filed yet.

There's no reason to file it in Texas except to get it in the 5th circuit:

> A Nevada corporation, whose HQ is in California, sues a DC entity and Maryland resident in … Texas.

This thread is about the actions of the Texas Attorney General.

X Corp is domiciled in Nevada, not Texas, it seems like:

Why is there literally nowhere else to file a suit?

It occurs to me that I may have misinterpreted GGP's post, but if he's talking about the Texas Attorney General bringing some kind of claim on behalf of Texas, filing suit outside of Texas would be improper venue.

(If talking about the X lawsuit, which I didn't even realize existed until just now, that's a tangential matter to the OP.)

People seem to be kind of talking about both on the same thread. Seems kind of bad that government officials are cooperating so closely with a private business to take on the "enemies" of said business that people are conflating the two.
