LOL GLAD to. And please don’t tell anyone I made any sense or they’ll drum me out of the Lawyer Corp. Hmm Then again . . . lol

Understand. But it’s the same thing. And there have been some suits filed doing just that, asking the Govt or Govt Official to “do their duty”. It’s called a Writ of Mandamus.

However, the very first question every court ever asks is “does it have jurisdiction” and #2 is standing.

So the standing issue would apply in the case that you suggest and you still run into the same problem.

could we get any traction with a “class action” case? if that would not have standing, then I don’t know if anyone would.
