We all have standing now.
***Interesting point. I doubt if someone filed a lawsuit today, that they’d get any more satisfaction out of the lower courts than Berg & others did. The issue of standing tends to be a catch-all trash bin that courts use as a way to weasel out of their responsibility & clear their dockets. Check with your dad on that... maybe I’m wrong?
Standing is sometimes used to move a case up the ladder. It allows the judge to move be appealed without giving comment (biasing it) or being overruled. (They like to keep that percentage down).....
OTOH It also can be that there is NO damage, therefore no standing. In that case the SCOTUS would have immediately dismissed the case, not scheduled it for conference.
The disappointment that many felt with Leo and COrt was because they relied on the burden being placed on the SoS. The court would have had to rule with the SoS, no where are they assigned the responsibilty to vet the candidates. We are expecting them to issue comment when they issue their final order.
