Will Dr. Lakin now have standing since he has been injured?

He does have court standing but I doubt anyone knows what he will do at this point.

You don’t get standing as a result of incurring punishment for your own behavior. Sorry. Orly already tried that argument, and it was a pathetic spectacle.

He gets the same appeal rights for his case as anyone else in that situation.

To expand on my post, Lakin has standing in civil court, but just having standing is not enough to bring suit.

A scenario. If it was ever found that Obama was ineligible for presidential office. I don't know the particulars on how the suit would come about. It could possibly be for 'wrongful dismissal' by the Army without - just cause - because the government operated on a lie. The matter would have to be researched if he could sue with a reasonable chance of success...which would ultimately be decided by a court to proceed with the civil suit, but this would way down the road.

As for the moment, his case is now an automatic appeal to the first level of appellate review.
