There is a reason why the ACLU joins individuals as plaintiffs. It works on "standing'.

Milton,
I'm no lawyer, but it would seem to me that there is a difference between the ACLU and iMEGA. Which is that the ACLU rarely(?) is litigating for its actual members, whereas iMEGA is a trade association who only advocates on behalf of its membership. Is this distinction I draw valid?
As to their tactic of broadening the scope of coverage of the UIGEA, one obviously does not have to look far to see who is behind that position, i.e. Party Poker. However when talking about Party's affiliates in particular, they would seem to have a point (and indeed in re Party itself, they used the example of the fall of their stock price).
