Standing... so only members of the candidates’ club can complain and raise the constitutional issue? Weird, and not settled yet, either.
I think any elector who will not be seated would also have standing.
Why does any American citizen NOT have standing on this issue????? This is OUR government...not just the politicians who are CHOSEN (elected) by US, the people....
IMO, each and every American citizen has the right to question any candidates compliancy with the Constitution of the United States of America..................
Leo Donofrio explained you have to go through state court to get “standing.” Yeah it is BS but you do everything you can to avoid letting the powers that be blow your case out. The state courts deny you so you can take it to SCOTUS.
Standing, STANDING!! Here is where I get my standing....I found this in some old papers laying around the house.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.”
I have some more old papers, but this works for me.
I keep a few “bricks” of standing in a special room at my house...
