Is that case referred to in the decision? If so, I missed it. If it is could oyu tell me hat page? Had a little trouble reading that copy.
And, as an aside, the Hollander case referred to in there is JUST like this one. It’s the one where McCain was sued for being born in the Panama Canal zone. The courts dismissed that one for lack of standing and the issue was identical.
And, yes, parties can settle anything and standing doesnt’ matter. However, a Defendant can not agree to standing for the Plaintiff. The Defendant just can’t say “I don’t care.” Also, courts have often ruled there is no standing where the Defendant didn’t even raise it.
Let me know where you found that Goldwater case and I’ll look =)
