It was not justiciable to begin with. The courts needs to be held accountable for their overreach and reigned in as to the limits of their constitutional authority under penalty of disbanding.
Agreed—none of the plaintiffs had standing.
Imho this was a slam dunk case from day one.
As I have posted numerous times...to the extent that probationary federal employees had any right of action that would be at the Merit Protection Systems Board (MPSB) which was created in the 1970s to deal with these exact issues—and to keep them from clogging up the courts.
The only parties that have standing is fired individuals—at the MPSB.
