I don't agree. Let me play devil's advocate for a sec:
Wouldn't the danger here be that suing the gov't for failure to follow their established procedures, stupid (and possibly unlawful; that hasn't been tested yet) as they are, leave the door open for even greater bureaucratic oversight/expenditures -- the very outcome we're trying to overturn in the first place? This doesn't strike me as a sensible strategy.
