You have to have standing to challenge it. Nobody had standing before.
But any candidate who was denied a place on the ballot now has the standing to challenge this rule.
I only hope and pray that Perry and Gingrich and Bachman and Santorum all march down to the court on Tuesday and file their lawsuits. I will contribute to the defense fund.
This kind of arbitrary rule making just irks me to no end. The system is designed to protect incumbents who don't have to qualify under this system. It also encourages and rewards election fraud.
Every patriotic conservative should be up in arms over this.

EXACTLY!!!!!!! This is the point that the ninnies who are crying “foul” and “sore loser” can’t get through their narrow little minds. You can’t challenge a rule until it has harmed you - and it won’t have “harmed you” until it is applied. Thus today is the first day it can be challenged.
Slam dunk on your part. Great point.
