How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- explaining that the FECA’s citizen-suit provision does not confer standing because there is no “justiciable interest in the enforcement of the law”
- rejecting informational injury argument when the administrative complaint’s allegation of informational deprivation was “nominal at best”
- “Nothing in FECA requires that information concerning a violation of the Act as such be disclosed to the public.”
- finding no standing where what the complaint “desires is for the Commission to ‘get the bad guys,’ rather than disclose information”
- Common Cause’s allegation of reporting violations was “nominal at best” and the relief requested “consisted entirely of the investigation and imposition of monetary penalties against” the alleged violators
- Section 30109(a)(8)(A) “does not confer standing; it confers a right to sue upon parties who otherwise already have standing”
