Good news!

“Justice Anthony Kennedy said taxpayers challenging the program lacked “standing” to continue the suit.”

Yea, but for the wrong reason.

[HiTech RedNeck]

The way the Supremes went about this, however, may be less than satisfying. The conservatives didn’t nix the idea of tax deductibility of such donations; they only said that a plain ole vanilla taxpayer doesn’t have standing to sue. (Someone else might, but they didn’t say whom.) In this case the Tea Party folks may be in accidental sympathy with the Christian school folks, but what if this were about donations to abortion facilities?

Justice Anthony Kennedy said taxpayers challenging the program lacked "standing" to continue the suit.

I'm starting to feel right uncomfortable about that term.

nix => give the nod to

My kids long ago matriculated parochial and private schools, and I consider my money well spent. BUT, since minorities can benefit from alleged bank agricultural loan slights without having to produce bank records or even proving that they ever farmed AND since minorities can get jobs or be admitted to college because of slavery (over a century and a half ago), I think I’ll ask for retroactive tuition tax credits.

This is indicative of why it is so important to make sure Obama loses the 2012 election. If Obama gets an opportunity to appoint another liberal justice, this country will be dealt a potentially fatal blow.

A 5-4 vote. Another reason BO must lose in 2012.

lacked “standing”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I am soooooooo sick of this “lacked standing” argument!

While I am pleased that the tax credits were allowed to remain, using this “lacked standing” reasoning is becoming far too common. If the government has the police power to plunder the citizen's wealth, then the taxpayer definitely has the “standing” to know why.

The 5-4 ruling split along conservative-liberal lines. Writing for the majority, Justice Anthony Kennedy said taxpayers challenging the program lacked "standing" to continue the suit.

Since when is Kennedy a conservative?

There’s got to be a way to turn educating your own kids into a business with their education being a business expense. Then it would come off the top of the income.

See in your Bible: Ecclesiastes 10:2. Even the Bible knows a conservative from a liberal:

A wise man's heart is at his right hand,

But a fool's heart is at his left.

NO MORE need be said. The truth strikes!!!

[popdonnelly]

Oh my! Our “news media” will be bouncing off the walls. Why the long face, Andrea?

[newzjunkey]

I’m tired of courts hiding behind “standing.” Obama eligibility? Standing. Marriage? Standing.

[arrogantsob]

The article is not clear but apparently these donations provide STATE tax relief. Why would the federal court even have taken this case? It would seem as though this was a state issue to be decided by state courts. Where is the federal interest here?

[topher]

Good news ping!

[CholeraJoe]

More tax breaks for rich fat cats. Penalizes working-class American union members, blah, blah.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I sure could use that deduction on my federal return. The way I look at it, I am paying once for my daughter’s private education and again for a public education.

[triumphant values]

So instead of just ruling on the dang case while they had it in front of them, they ruled on its standing merits and kicked the can so the lower courts can be jammed up with "establishment clause" cases by individuals for years to come.

Way to go Supreme Court.
