Mike Lee actually said...

The people in this country are sovereign, as Lincoln said. It is a government by the people, for the people.

I do not think it would ever be fair to say that someone litigating against the Federal Government is anything other than the little guy.

It would be unfair for anyone to state or to imply that you then are responsible somehow for the expressive conduct of third parties.

What you are seeing here is the confluence that occurs by operation of the Constitution between law and politics.
