Excuse me?
Abuse of power under color of authority is the short version.
Fraud.
Obamacare.
A neverending list of abuses, usurpations and fraudulent taxes and illegal laws(not one cent more in taxes.)
The fact that Congress and state governments fail to challenge something does not make it Constitutional.
Legal and Constitutional are not interchangeable.
Every working, non governmental working American has standing.
I fail to find, in that article, the specific reason for the fine. When a legal matter is brought before a court, and it lacks standing, it is merely rejected. If fines were legal, no legal procedures would ever proceed, given large enough fines.
Justice has a blindfold and scales, but no pockets.
If a party moves for a case to be dismissed as “frivolous” they can ask for sanctions. A fine, a penalty. In this case the fine is to pay the state’s attorney fees. The threshold for frivolous is that no issues raised, in this case by Jordan,would ever be open to any debate among reasonable people.
