U.S. District Court Judge Jane Beckering, a Biden-appointed judge, dismissed their federal lawsuit on April 11, citing a lack of standing. If the legislature doesn't have standing to challenge questionable state law changes, who does?

"Michigan legislators claim that the state government infringed on their constitutional rights when it used ballot initiatives to change election laws." It requires teamwork

Here's the problem in Michigan.
It's probably true that a single (or handful) of individual legislators don't have standing to sue because the Constitution refers to the legislature as a body. I would think that the Speaker of the House of Representatives of Michigan would have standing to sue, but the Speaker is a Democrat (Joe Tate).

On the other hand, I'd like to see something like the Michigan Republican Party sue on 14th amendment equal protection grounds, citing:
- >The voters of Michigan have an expectation that the Constitution would be followed in Michigan the same way it is followed in the other states, that the people voted for legislatures who passed election laws, and unconstitutional changes to those laws that bypass the duly elected legislature violates equal protection.
- The Michigan Republican Party should have standing because the state authorizes their primaries and general elections to the state legislature. Why have elections if the constitutional power of the legislature can be easily set aside at the whim of the majority party when it suits their needs?
In 2020, Texas and other states tried to sue to stop states that unconstitutionally changed their election laws, and their case was dismissed for lack of standing (ostensibly because they weren't entities within those states). That's why a bod like the MI GOP might have standing, since the state authorizes their primaries.

Does thei individual legislator have a specific particularizex harm or invaded right that can be addressed by the courts? Yes. He as a legislator has the right under the constitution to propose, debate and vote on regulations for the conduct of elections. That right was denied him in particular.
To: Political Junkie Too
The Supreme Court were cowards and Thomas said so in his sole dissent. If PA decides Soros has the right to appoint all the electors, the voters or legislatures of every other state are injured because it introduces an element of tyranny ito what are lol supposed to be Republican forms of government in each of the states.
To: AndyJackson
That's a relevant point.
I'd extend it to say that any legislator who was in the chamber in 2018 and 2022 when the laws were passed has a right to sue because the bill they voted on and passed is now being overturned unconstitutionally.
Or, more to the point, the vote they passed via constitutional authority is being replaced by ballot initiatives that don't have constitutional authority for the subject matter, which harms the legislator's ability to exercise their plenary power.

Nothing is more unjust than the current use of “No Standing” in the court system. It is used for corrupt purposes. And It is my understanding that it is not the way the court system started out. I believe it was mostly created to allow corrupt courts a way to be political activists.
