What’s the ration? All I ever hear is how the envirormentalists have their day in court. I haven’t heard of cases tossed on them.

“We have consistently held that a plaintiff raising only a generally available grievance about government - claiming only harm to his and every citizen’s interest in proper application of the Constitution and laws, and seeking relief that no more directly and tangibly benefits him than it does the public at large — does not state an Article III case or controversy.” - Justice Scalia, writing for the majority in Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife, 504 U.S. 555, 560-561 (1992)
