The argument that would be made is that it's another Constitutional violation.

I think that's likely a harder case to sue, especially as other methods of commenting exist (email, snail mail). It'd be a different story if periods for public comment were codified into law.

Although I could still write in and point out that this action might not be the shield they think it is. I definitely don't think it'd be an unreasonable lawsuit.
