"Lack of standing I would think means nothing."

No, lack of standing has its place in the courts. If not then I could sue Free Republic for violating the L.A. Times copyrights. Being I have no ownership of the L.A. Times then I have no standing in such a case.

If lack of standing wasn't a legal consideration then every lawyer in the country would gin up cases in which their clients had no involvement in just to rake in the bucks.

The problem is judges use it as a way to legislate via the punt.
