Thanks.
Exactly.
That doesn't change the merits of the case, or lack thereof. And it doesn't establish standing if there was none in the first place.
There is a time limit for filing an appeal every step of the way. I haven’t really followed these case, so don’t know where Donofrio’s case is, but wherever it is, it’s on a clock.
I.e., if Donofrio’s case was denied at the District Court level, he’d have had 30 days to file at the Court of Appeals; if it was denied at the Court of Appeals, he’d have 90 days to file an appeal to SCOTUS. If an appeal isn’t filed on time, you are just outta luck.
This issue of 'nobody' has standing is a judicial fabrication. For example (post 1/20), BO signs a law that raises taxes...that 'harms' everyone who's tax burden is raised. One example, the ex CEO Wagner from GM has standing. He lost his job because of a WH policy. The handful of judges that this has gone before, have taken the easy way out by saying 'no standing' or that their court has 'no jurisdiction.'
What's the consequence for them "granting" standing (which we all have anyway)? They go down in the history books of the world as the judge/court that heard the case that brought down the usurper that the world (supposedly) loves. Perhaps even violence happens as a direct result of their 'judgement' for standing. Perhaps their life is in jeopardy. All very real possibilities. Now, what's the consequence for them to do nothing (i.e. "give" no standing)? Nothing, for them personally. Of course, our Constitution is usurped. Since they care none about the Constitution to begin with, it matter's none to them. Major difference in outcomes. It's a 'cop out' for this radioactive hot potato Constitutional crisis.
He sure does have tenacity, and thank goodness for it too. I believe, though, that he himself is a liberal Democrat.
The courts apparently don't agree with you on that one.
I believe this is simply a public statement, and not part of any documents that has been filed with the court. I'm not certain, but 1 or 2 days to respond to a court order doesn't sound "reasonable". Especially if the court hadn't granted access (prior to order) to the pacer system for their court.
Oh, it’s not ‘apparently’ it is that those few judges don’t agree period. Again, doesn’t mean they are right. IMO, it means they are scared.
So far as we know every judge who's been involved with the case has agreed that the plaintiffs lack standing. They're all cowards?
Without question, they are.
Of course they are.
This time, he'd better make sure to file in the District Court of Washington DC.
Isn't that where the Hollister case was filed, and thus the involvement of D.C. Attorney Hemenway?
But don’t miss the point: the “no standing” argument, rather than logical, is mostly arbitrary.
As illustrated in post # 25, it is an argument which itself has no standing—not by any logical principles of justice.

Spread the word I will!!
Ley’s just say that there’s not a 1 to 1 relationship between what Phil says he’s going to do and what he actually does.
“Then everything else will implode in a circular firing squad of finger pointing.”
The very real problem is that most Americans, especially Black ones, don’t care about the constitution. Exposing him as a fraud won’t matter to them. The same way they supported O.J. Simpson in his first trial when they knew he was guilty as sin. It is all about race to them, and having a Black president and getting back at whitey. The only way they are going to be turned against Obama is for him to diss Blacks in a really bad way.
I’m sorry to say these things, but I am afraid they are so. He is this nation’s worst nightmare, and he is setting back race relations not advancing them.
Sorry if I seem off subject. I care that he might not be constitutionally qualified, but I have seen many blacks in uniform that don’t....that scares me. An upset of an Obama administration over him not be qualified will not set well with a significant minority that make up the armed forces. I don’t care about the general population, it is those bearing arms for the country that concern me. If we have a serious meltdown in the military over race, this republic is doomed.
