The standing will be different when one of Trump's team brings something to the supreme court. There is waaaaay to much dooming going on right now. This case came out of nowhere, and went nowhere. Now is the time to refocus on everything that was and is going on by Trump's actual legal team, and those not officially involved, like Sidney.
I hope you're right. I'm pretty clueless when it comes to legal stuff, but I keep hearing people taking about standing and I don't know what it means. Is there an objective measure of when someone has standing?
It seems to me SCOTUS' rationale is that the state as an entity has not been injured. The people? Ja, but the state was not representing a group of people as plaintiff. In any case, I'm focusing on what we've had going on all along, which is what Trump's team is still working on.
** Edit ** The state wasn't representing John Smith from Austin who had his vote negated by dead guys voting in Detroit. TX sued as though the state of TX had itself been harmed, not John Smith.
But we all know what to expect now.
