I have only seen the concept of standing used to dismiss cases brought forward by those injured by the government or powerful corporations. It's basically a blanket excuse the court can selectively invoke when they don't want someone to win a case.

A judge will pocket their bribe then interpret the "injury" you've suffered out of existence and throw out your case.

Then lets really pack the courts. We can afford hundreds of billions of dollars to fund our safety, we can surly put some money into justice to ensure ever case gets seen by a judge. This is also a safety mechanism, so you can check a judges ruling for bias later.
