It’s time for Congress to redefine “legal standing”.

Why is that Congress's job?

Why is that Congress's job? Article III of the Constitution says this:

In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.

So, Congress does have an express role of determining the jurisdiction of the courts.
