Maybe I’m misreading the article, but it appears the author criticizes the past use of standing, when it was an impediment to Liberal’s use of the courts to legislate, but now that Leftist policies are in place, she wants to go back to the prior use of standing that the Left help throw out so it will block conservative attempts to roll back Leftism.
Meanwhile, large fundraising operations masquerading as environmental advocacy groups routinely sidestep standing and are given regular access to the courts to represent uninjured parties on behalf of the environment. I bet Linda Greenhouse favors that special access.
The author complains about the NRA having standing in gun rights cases. Why do environmental groups have standing to sue the EPA, which they do regularly? Where is the direct harm there?
Is an Opinion of the Supreme Court the Law of the Land? Lets ask Thomas Jefferson. . .

Linda Greenhouse is a notorious leftist.
I love how our courts just abuse their power and screw the little people with no regard to anything.
Oh well - we have a black president.
I’m sure you racists wouldn’t understand. :)
