You basically laid out exactly the same argument I did and the petition for cert by precedent should be denied for standing. But I trust Kennedy and Breyer as far as I can throw them.

Well, me too. But they'd have to overrule 20 years of standings cases to get there. Breyer might under his "international law" construct, but I don't think Kennedy will go that far. Even if they got cert, and even if the five want to go with Ms. Diggs-Taylor, Kennedy will concur with a "standings" majority to reverse and remand. Gonzales is OK, but clearly an affirmative action hire. Starr would have been a LOT better, although I question whether he'd get through the Senate. The guy WAS a moonbat...although I've heard that phony "cyclical" or "pendulum" Presidency argument made by folks like David Gergle(sic)...

I don't think it has a prayer for cert but if another case comes with real standing I think we have big problems if Congress doesn't change the law.

I'd sleep better if Pat Robertson's prayer for Justice Stevens came true soon.
