That has always struck me as so odd. Why would they allow you to sue them?

Under traditional English law, from which our legal system is largely
derived, the government is protected by the doctrine of sovereign
immunity ("The King can do no wrong.") However, most, if not all,
government entites in the US (the fed as well as states, cities,etc)
have waived the doctrine for certain classes of cases, hence "allowing
you to sue them." Rarely does the gov't waive the protection on a
case by case basis. The plaintiff in this case is probably hoping to
fit into some general category of case in which the govt has already
waived its sovereign immunity. That said, I agree that the case
should be without merit.
