Really? What a strange way to read a law!

You think legal representation is forbidden during all this?

"Section 1189. Designation of foreign terrorist organizations ...
(b) Judicial review of designation
(1) In general Not later than 30 days after publication of the designation in the Federal Register, an organization designated as a foreign terrorist organization may seek judicial review of the designation in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
(2) Basis of review Review under this subsection shall be based solely upon the administrative record, except that the Government may submit, for ex parte and in camera review, classified information used in making the designation. (3) Scope of review
The Court shall hold unlawful and set aside a designation the court finds to be -
(A) arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law;
(B) contrary to constitutional right, power, privilege, or immunity;
(C) in excess of statutory jurisdiction, authority, or limitation, or short of statutory right;
(D) lacking substantial support in the administrative record taken as a whole or in classified information submitted to the court under paragraph (2),
( (E) not in accord with the procedures required by law.
(4) Judicial review invoked The pendency of an action for judicial review of a designation shall not affect the application of this section, unless the court issues a final order setting aside the designation."

Some could well be. That provision speaks only about judicial review. But that is only one way in which a lawyer in that circumstance would seek to help his client. I see no provision allowing the lawyer to lobby congress, or the state department on behalf of the his client, organisation X.
