See Section I.A, supra. The Complaint appears to acknowledge that the Declaratory Judgment Act cannot (and does not) on its own confer federal jurisdiction; the Complaint asserts that the Court “has further jurisdiction under the Declaratory Judgment Act,” “[b]ecause of the original jurisdiction” allegedly established by 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1343.

The Bush administration Defendants’ argument that the Plaintiff’s injuries were not “caused by the official capacity defendants” is premised on an incorrect understanding of the law. As set forth fully in Section (I)(2)(b) supra., the Plaintiff’s claims are against the Defendant Agencies and are brought through their respective “official capacity” directors. See, e.g., Kentucky v. Graham, 473 U.S. 159 (1985); and Student Members of SAME et. al. v. Rumsfeld (in his official capacity), 321 F.Supp.2d 388 (D.C.T. 2004) (finding, in a case arising under 28 U.S.C. §1331, that Plaintiffs had standing to assert claims against the Department of Defense for violations of their constitutional rights). The alleged improper actions were conducted by the Defendant agencies. Moreover, this Court never has applied the more strict “tort” standard of “causation” to determine the traceability and causal connection of the action.
