In brief, “standing” requires some personalized injury to the person suing. If it is an injury that befalls all Americans, then it is not personalized. This is one reason why individual taxpayers can not sue over gov’t waste. It is an injury that befalls all of us.

So the moral of the story is, if you're going to injure anyone, injure everyone, and the law will keep you safe.
