Wrong. A lot of sound and fury there, signifying nothing.
Go back and read my original comment. I was focusing on who validly may maintain a quo warranto action. That is what standing IS: the legal authority to maintain an action. You didn’t know this, it seems.
And therefore, I have been wasting my time with you. Won’t waste any more. We agree on your final point, but you’re obviously too silly a person to admit, “Oh, I misread what you said about the right to maintain an action, and didn’t immediately get that you were talking about standing,” even though it’s the very definition of standing.
Goodbye.

"... maintained by someone who is asserting HE should hold the office instead." That last word "instead" destroys your entire argument about your implications of the first word "maintained."
That is what standing IS: the legal authority to maintain an action.
Standing is not a legal authority. It's a legal basis (a "right".) You didn't know this, it seems.
Goodbye
Well, bye now.

Standing should never be an issue when it comes to Quo Warranto challenges or the proceeding as some here may try to mislead the readers. The public at large would have standing since the public official holding office represents the public, which should be obvious to everyone.

Geez, all the venom towards Orly. What if she's legit, i.e. she in her heart really feels strongly about the eligibility and is doing the best she can to fight the best way she knows how. Yes, I've seen her gaffes, on film and in print. Yes, she's made mistakes. My gut tells me she Really thinks Obama is an usurper and she wants to take him down. My gut tells me she is mad as hell at him and she sees him as a Manchurian Candidate closet communist - just like I do. She's lived communism, we haven't. (until now)You know, she could just be legit. Her problems have been due to inexperience, but who has more passion regarding the issue than Orly? I just wish all of these people filing would work together, Leo, Mario, Orly, etc, - rent a huge office in D.C., get a staff of hundreds, a full court press type of thing regarding the Quo Warranto. . Wouldn't that be something?
