The decision was based on standing, saying that the House of Delegates could not appeal the decision of the 11th Circuit on grounds that the State Attorney General, who has the statutory authority to act on behalf of he State of Virginia had declined to appeal. The State Attorney General had the standing to be the single voice for the State of Virginia.
Technical Foul. The question now, can someone with standing file an appeal? Aren’t the people, not just the politicians, affected by this ruling?
Many thanks for your concise explanation of where the justices differed in their opinions. I was hoping that I’d have time to read through this one because of the unusual mixture of opinions ...
If it's the state Attorney General then they have already said they wouldn't appeal.
Aren’t the people, not just the politicians, affected by this ruling?
You have to show damages, not just impact. What damages has the average voter incurred?
