At best, bringing suit against the very people we choose to elect is a paradox. At worst, it is an attempt to subvert the election process.

It may be unfortunate that nowhere in the Constitution is there any obligation on US citizens to vote at all, let alone to demonstrate some knowledge and wisdom if they do vote. We reelect 90%+ of all senators and congressmen who seek reelection and winners spend around 80% more on their campaigns than losers. Neither statistic suggests that the population exercises very much in the way of judgement.

Surprise, surprise, we end up with a government full of people who represent no-one but themselves and their backers, except coincidentally. Yet that is the peoples' choice. The case to which you have linked, not only seems highly quixotic (because even if successful it is unlikely to have any impact), but also akin to applying a bandaid to a near-severed arm.

If you are genuinely concerned about the failure of democracy's institutions, it would be more honest and potentially more effective, to tackle the failures of democracy itself.
