I’m sure lots of things are “supposed to be” a certain way, but in true American fashion, most of these kinds of laws aren’t enforced until the parties end up in court.

You know, the courts that are famously impartial and who never rule along ideological or party lines, are never swayed by whoever has the “better” lawyers, and are never biased against minoities. Oh, and litigation is super cheap too, and so frivolous lawsuits definitely can’t be used as financial weapons.
