Foster 407 U.S. 225 (1972) (that state court Claim Preclusion is inapplicable in federal FHA Retaliation cases) ; (2) in Bill Johnson's Restaurants, Inc. v. NLRB, 461 U.S. 731 (1983) (that use of state court process to obtain a retaliatory objective is itself retaliation, subsequently independently actionable in federal court); (3) in Nevada v.
