He wouldn't be saying to sue the policymakers, he's be saying to have the policymakers change the policy.
But with that in mind my understanding of the courts is that they try to stay away from "judicial activism", and if they can't do that they try to limit it to tearing down bad laws instead of forming up new ones, as would have to be done here to find the defendants liable.

...and the one before that, and the one before that, and so on back to Marbury vs. Madison.
"I believe Mr. Greenspan is both sincere and passionate about what he believes but what he asserts is really a case to be made to the legislative policy-makers, not to the courts."
The courts are the place where any man should/can make a difference in the country. For example, I can bring forth a lawsuit to fix something I think is wrong and if my claim is justified the justice system can over rule a governor, state house/senate, or if it makes it federal the President. Also I am pretty sure you can not sue a policy maker so this may be his only option.
