    but will the court take the case?

    It's been my experience that when a citizens' group files a suit like this against the federal government, it's tossed because the group has no standing. So it seems like a publicity grab. I'd like to be wrong about that. It's one thing to be amicus curiae, another to be the one with the standing to file suit.
