This is simple elementary-school civics. The courts should declare void laws passed in an unconstitutional manner. |
Today's lawsuit simply requests the court to uphold the Constitution. The entire law is invalid because the law the House passed is different from the law the Senate passed and the president signed. |
Under the Constitution, the same version of a bill has to be passed by both houses of Congress. We filed our lawsuit because it's important for the government to abide by the law. |
We firmly believe in open government and a citizen's right to access government records, so they can hold the government accountable. |
