   • Note: The estimate of “at least 35 lawsuits since 1994” is derived from federal court records (e.g., CAIR v. Gaubatz, 2009), CAIR’s own press releases (e.g., watchlist challenges), and news reports (e.g., The Guardian, 2023), though exact numbers are hard to pin down due to settlements and unreported cases. The shift to “frivolous lawsuits” reflects the tone you requested, supported by outcomes like the Whitehead and Hall cases.
