You don’t get it.

A law preventing everyone from publishing a newspaper would individually affect your right to publish a newspaper. A right protected in the Constitution.

A law aboloshing election would violate your specific right to vote - a right again protected in the Constitution.

Name the specific right or interest that Obama being president deprives you of uniquely.

Actually it's not. Only if the is violation based on certain criteria.

Race, color or previous condition of servitude (Amendment XV)

Sex (Amendment IXX)

Not paying a poll tax (Amendment XXIV)

or

Age if 18 or over (Amendment XXVI)

It doesn't, but as I've demonstrated, neither would suspending abolishing elections for everyone.

But I do get it, it's just that, IMHO, it's BS with no Constitutional foundation. It's a case in Law. it arises under the Constitution of the United States. Thus, it falls under the judicial power of the United States. The Constitution says the judical power extends to *all* such cases, not just ones where the persons bringing the case to court is "uniquely" harmed.
