Nobody has standing anymore on anything

I wish they’d just whacked it, but I do respect Clarence Thomas...if he thinks this is the way to go, then I will defer.
I am encouraged this was not a ruling on the law as written—and I do believe we must continue to work to repeal this pile of Obamacare. The law is dung, and must be treated as dung—thrown out.

Dig up McCain and kick his rino ass!

We’re just the little people who need to sit down and shut up and take whatever rat poison they want to feed us.

Good perspective. One of the most fundamental principles of civil law is that you have no standing to pursue a legal challenge unless you can demonstrate that you were harmed in some way. You can’t file a lawsuit to challenge a hunting or fishing regulation, for example, if you don’t hunt or fish.

Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell could have repealed the whole thing, but they didn’t want Trump to have a successful outcome.

...I do respect Clarence Thomas...if he thinks this is the way to go, then I will defer.JUSTICE THOMAS, concurring. There is much to commend JUSTICE ALITO’s account of “our epic Affordable Care Act trilogy.” Post, at 1 (dissenting opinion). This Court has gone to great lengths to rescue the Act from its own text. Post, at 1–2. So have the Act’s defenders, who argued in first instance that the individual coverage mandate is the Act’s linchpin, yet now, in an about-face, contend that it is just a throwaway sentence.
But, whatever the Act’s dubious history in this Court, we must assess the current suit on its own terms. And, here, there is a fundamental problem with the arguments advanced by the plaintiffs in attacking the Act—they have not identified any unlawful action that has injured them. Ante, at 5, 11, 14–16. Today’s result is thus not the consequence of the Court once again rescuing the Act, but rather of us adjudicating the particular claims the plaintiffs chose to bring.
“
Kind of says it all.

That.is.ridiculous.

To: aquila48
Yeah but this was a good decision. Not convenient for our side, but a decision rooted in law.

Problem is, anyone with standing couldn’t afford a lawyer to take this all the way and it’s very reasonable to assume they wouldn’t have the time. The system is bogus

Only Malta and Roberts’ satellites
and Obama’s and Comey’s guillotines have standing.

In a lot of cases I’d agree but I don’t think there was any lack of resources available to attack the ACA. I bet there were a dozen well funded conservative legal groups looking for a case to get behind.
