Has anybody pointed out to them that the mail they need to serve their papers gets moved by trucks, trains, and aircraft burning diesel fuel or a close relative (Jet A)? Do their lawyers walk to the hearings or do they drive/fly/etc.? Yes, the courts have moved to e-filing for most cases, but a certain amount of paper still has to move and personal appearances for certain occasions are needed and if the theory here holds then you have to shut down most power plants too hence no more electricity for your internets.
Chances are they will have to do some jurisdiction shopping to find a judge that'll hear their suit seriously, though.
