One of the slimier, and hence more popular, things I've seen recently in Republican tactics are crafting laws where they conjure standing out of nothing. Passing laws where a private citizen can bring a civil suit in situations where the plaintiff has suffered no harm and would normally not have standing but now have the opportunity for a cash reward. They don't even have to make whatever it is illegal, they just deputize the worst parts of their base to be attack dogs for them.
