What is her “substantially affected interest” (AKA-harm/gain standing)?

Mrs. Thomas is the head of Liberty Consulting, an organization that has been lobbying against Obamacare. If the court strikes is down then her organization could benefit from it.

In what way would Mrs. Thomas benefit? On a “regressive” extension, if ObamaCare is struck down, in what way would the Mrs. Thomas directly benefit?...credibility does not carry a monetary benefit unless proven post facto. Keep in mind, too, that she is not the organization, in principal. She is essentially a worker drone.

If my comments regarding EPA legislation benefits my employer, am I directly responsible for the benefit to my comapny that employs me to interpret and comment? Not until I am called as a “material witness”.

Same for Mrs. Thomas. If she receives a direct bonus/pay raise for her work in getting ObamaCare struck down, then yes she benfits. If she receives an annual bonus from the organization according to her merit in moving the group forward, is that really directly tied to the SCOTUS decision?

Oooops. My mistake. She, in fact, IS a principal in the organization.

I wait for more elucidation.
