I've been searching for news on this supposed lawsuit and managed to find
this goldmine of information in a Fox News article. (Really, try reading this article and see if it makes any sense to you. Mexican lawsuit! More buzzards than people! Texas speed limit shocks people from the east coast! What the hell was Hill smoking when she wrote this?
They call this news?)
Well, I did manage to find
this, too.

Jim Kouri, a security expert and staff writer for TheRealityCheck.org, warned in a column that the Bush administration could face a federal lawsuit over its plan to use National Guard troops to supplement Border Patrol agents.

So
therealitycheck.org is where this rumor is coming from? Someone from this slightly slanted website is
suggesting that Mexico
could file a lawsuit? Can we get some more information than that? Ah, here we go:

"A representative from Mexican President Vicente Fox claims that if the U.S. National Guard troops detain illegal aliens crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, the Fox government will file a lawsuit against the Bush Administration in U.S. federal court," Kouri wrote. "There are some political observers who believe that the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is preparing to assist the Mexican government in such a lawsuit."

Really? Can we get a name of that representative? A quote, maybe? Whatever.
The ACLU, as I understand it, is simply trying to keep the administration in check for violating the posse comitatus act for not getting congressional approval, not file a lawsuit on behalf of Mexico. But, hey, it isn't as if there isn't precedent for the president bypassing congress on anything, lately...
