Article III of the US Constitution provides that the judicial power "shall extend to ... Controversies to which the United Staes shall be made a party .... " Article III thus grants the federal courts subject matter jurisdiction over claims against the US.
Federal sovereign immunity does not bar restitution claims. Bowen v. Massachusetts, 487 US 879 (1988). Plaintiff-shareholders are not seeking damages against Treasury, but restitution.
