I'd also like to clarify something else about lawsuits against the government. I've never defended the federal government, but I've spent the better part of the last decade defending municipal officers. There's a whole separate discussion about sovereign immunity and qualified immunity that would need to be sorted out before any plaintiff can get money damages, and that's a whole separate question from whether a plaintiff can get a declaratory judgment that a law is unconstitutional.
