Case Dismissed – Berg to appeal

So, who does have standing? According to the Hon. R. Barclay Surrick, that’s completely up to Congress to decide.

If, through the political process, Congress determines that citizens, voters, or party members should police the Constitution’s eligibility requirements for the Presidency, then it is free to pass laws conferring standing on individuals like Plaintiff. Until that time, voters do not have standing to bring the sort of challenge that Plaintiff attempts to bring in the Amended Complaint.

So there you go, the citizenry has no legal interest, thus no standing, in having the Constitution enforced. That is, if it's not, they suffer no legal "injury".

The citizenry may have other ideas than this judge about their right to have the Constitution enforced.
