The Bopp FATCA Legal Action U.S. Based Lawsuit

The FATCA Legal Action lawsuit is organized by Republicans Overseas and is prosecuted by the Bopp Law Firm in Indiana. It argues that FATCA is unconstitutional based on a number of legal grounds. One of the plaintiffs is Dr. Steven Kish, who is also the Chair of “The Alliance For The Defence of Canadian Sovereignty” (the organization bringing the FATCA lawsuit in Canada). Interestingly, Dr. Kish reluctantly renounced U.S. citizenship in August of 2016.
What follows are tweets that link to various posts that I have written about the progress of the U.S. based FATCA Legal Action lawsuit. The lawsuit is still held up on “standing issues”. Judge Rose ruled that the plaintiffs did NOT have “standing to sue”. This decision was appealed and argued on January 24, 2017. We are waiting for a decision to see if the lawsuit can proceed. You may listen to Mr. Bopp’s oral argument here.
