FS Credit Opportunities Corp. v. Saba Capital Master Fund, Ltd. · ¶16

Congress determines who may sue to enforce federal law. Touche Ross & Co. v. Redington, 442 U. S. 560, 579 (1979); Alexander v. Sandoval, 532 U. S. 275, 286 (2001). When Congress creates a private right of action, it usually does so expressly. For example, “[a] person whose religious exercise has been burdened in violation of [the Religious Freedom Restoration Act] may assert that violation as a claim or defense in a judicial proceeding.” 42 U. S. C. §2000bb– 1(c). A “person aggrieved” by discrimination may “institut[e]” a “civil action for preventative relief.” §2000a–3(a). And so on.
