1United States Senators Harry Reid, Bernie Sanders, Mary Landrieu, Ben Nelson, Patrick Leahy, Christopher Dodd, Max Baucus, and Bill Nelson (collectively the “Senate Defendants”), by and through undersigned counsel1), hereby respectfully move this Court, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1), (2), (3), and (6), to dismiss plaintiff’s amended complaint. As set forth in detail in the accompanying memorandum in support of this motion, plaintiff’s amended complaint should be dismissed on the following grounds: (1) plaintiff lacks standing; (2) plaintiff’s claims are barred by the Speech or Debate Clause of the Constitution, Art. I, § 6, cl. 1; (3) the Court lacks personal jurisdiction over the Senate Defendants and venue is improper; and (4) the complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.

For these reasons, the Senate Defendants respectfully request that the Court dismiss plaintiff’s amended complaint with prejudice.
