Has anyone read if there are plans to take the government to court over remote ID?

I'm not a lawyer, but I would think legal action might be possible if the FAA continues down this path.  Obviously there would be costs involved.  And getting money from an apathetic group like us might be challenging.

Might be worth consideration though if the FAA doesn't reverse themselves.

What would be the basis? Privacy violations?

I was wondering where is the guy is that sued the FAA originally over the registration issue, and got it reversed, if only temporarily.

Not an attorney, so not sure.  But an attorney fluent in aviation tort claims would be a starting point.

Looking for answers to my question on Google, it appears there is plenty of case law supporting suing the FAA.  

The reason I bring this up is the due process we are being afforded is only from the FAA.  So is that really due process when the executioner gives us a chance at our final words?  

I would like to see a judge or a jury take a look at the case so we could get closer to a fair shake.  Juries are flaky, so a judge might be best.  There appears to be timelines on tort claims that have to be met specific to the federal government, and those may have passed already as well.

I see there are quite a few law firms listed on the internet that specialize in aviation civil actions including the FAA.  Maybe a call to one or two by one of our organizations might be in order.  What can it hurt?
