I have successfully prosecuted a few class actions in my time. I don't believe the "seizure" cause would survive a motion to dismiss, but the APA idea might work. On the other hand, you don't need a class action to bring on the cause. Class actions are very expensive to prosecute and who would cover that cost. A simple lawsuit with affected plaintiffs participating would do. Even those require many hours of expensive lawyers time as well as out of pocket disbursements. Someone has to pick up these costs.
Good information, thanks Unc. As I said, I'm not a lawyer -- there might be other avenues for suits. There has GOT to be someone with standing who could get Democracy Forward or the ACLU to sue.
