#1 This is insane.

Since when does a private group get to file a claim in the area of national defense/security?

If this suit gets passed a first motion hearing, do I get to file a suit against this 'Center for Constitutional Rights for endangering national security? Could they survive a class action suit of that kind?

#4 In a class-action suit, shouldn't the class have lived in the jurisdiction of the court? Or are the lawyers (no doubt some insane lefty group) claiming US courts have jurisdiction EVERYWHERE?

#5 In the next war, let's have their lawyers line up against our lawyers. It'll last for years, accomplish nothing, keep them busy enough to stay out of our lives, and nobody will care who wins or loses. Sorry, cingold.
