101% agreed that they most certainly “should.”

I have the impression however that SCOTUS’ precedents on standing have been extremely restrictive when it comes to challenging congressional actions. For example, there’s no chance that the Court would grant standing to an ordinary citizen-voter like you or me.

So who do you think would have standing to bring a successful suit?

Any Member of the House or Senate would have standing to file a case saying that a supposed “law,” which they opposed, was “passed” in violation of both the Constitution and the Rules of their House.

Standing will not be a problem in this case.
