The guy would have standing to sue as a member of the Democrat Party and as a Voting Citizen of the United States. As a Democrat he would be compromised by his party nominating an ineligible nominee. As a US Citizen his rights would be compromised by an ineligible nomination by disenfranchising his vote.

Sorry, I don't think that this gives you standing. Standing requires individual, particularized harm. What you described is not; rather, you've essentially described Flast standing, in which everyone has the same basic injury. That doesn't fly outside of establishment clause cases.

IMO, Every properly registered voter in the USA has “standing” to prevent someone who is not qualified under the terms of the Constirution to run for office.

If we all don’t stand up for the Constitution, we will fall for anything.

Standing requires individual, particularized harm. >>>>>>

I’m a bit confused and I don’t want to be rude, but this is pretty simple:

If BHO knows he is not eligible and is dupping the Democrat party to become their nominee then he is committing fraud (which is one of the counts of the suit). That fraud would adverserely affect each individual democrat. That couldn’t be more individual and particularized harm.

So I don’t get your argument, especially about the establishment clause.

Someone else is asking me to PROVE that BHO traveled to Pakistan on an Indonesian passport. How should I know? It isn’t my lawsuit. What I said was, if that is true he is in a world of trouble.

You guys need to lay back and watch this unfold. Philip Berg is a big time trial lawyer. For some reason you non-lawyers want to address the issue of standing with him like he is a law student. Why don’t you just read the definition of standing out of the Black’s Law Dictionary to him.

I don’t know if this suit is real, if the accusations are real, BHO is in real trouble.
