I’m no constitutional lawyer but while reading the threads on the states’ filings against the health care bill, I noted that Florida and Virginia filed IIRC in a circuit court and expected the case to get bumped to the Supreme Court. I believe a circuit court can pass on a case if they choose and pass it up to the next level. At any rate, a case filed by a state HAS to be taken by SCOTUS, according to the articles I read. So I thought, why not an eligibility case? If EVERY case brought by a state has to be taken, then the states would automatically get standing. A lawyer should check this theory out since I picked up the notion from several articles written by journalists who may or may not have had their facts correct.
