I can't find anything in traditional media about this, but the Thomas More Law Center says they're suing to overturn the Matthew Shepard Act. This group is known for silly lawsuits, the kinds that make even those who feel like Americans need a strong and responsive judicial branch roll their eyes, like when they sued the federal government for bailing out AIG because they sold insurance they thought Muslims would like in Muslim countries or when they sued Janet Napolitano because of that memo that said rightwing militias might get violent (where did they ever get that idea?).
