Justice Now! reported it has gathered the evidence necessary to  file a case in the United States against the U.S. government's “continued  violations of the treaties that recognize Israel's rights to its internationally  recognized legal borders, the prohibition against ceding any land belonging to  the Jewish National Home, and supporting the right of Jewish settlement within  those internationally recognized borders.” 
Justice Now! aims to “educate the world” regarding the legal borders of the  Jewish national home, which it says comprises all Israel, including all of  Judea, Samaria, the Gaza Strip, the entire city of Jerusalem, and more.  
These borders were recognized by the United States in a 1924 treaty with  Great Britain, the group explains, and they are still guaranteed by that treaty.  Furthermore, the U.S. Constitution calls a treaty the "Supreme Law of the Land"  and the Courts have the power to force the federal executive branch (President,  Secretary of State, etc.) to honor treaties. Justice Now! says it may seek a  court ruling to compel the U.S. government to recognize Israel's sovereignty  through all of the borders expressed within the Balfour, San Remo, and Mandate  documents.
Letter to  Obama
Justice Now! says it intends to send a letter to the Obama  administration urging it to respect Israel's rights under international law to  settle and build within all of the lands of the Jewish homeland. 
The  group's experts are currently giving a series of lectures on the subject (in  English) on Wednesday nights at 8:00 p.m. at the OU Israel Center, 22 Keren  HaYesod Avenue, Jerusalem. The next lectures are: Sept 16: Jerusalem under  International Law. Sept 23: Is it really an occupation? A look at the Geneva  Conventions and Israel's presence in Judea and Samaria. Sept 30: Israel's rights  to build the Security Fence, or Why Build a Fence Through the Middle of Your Own  Backyard
