Standing is an arbitrary tactic used by judges.

LOL. No it's not. Standing is simply the requirement that a plaintiff be able to show direct, tangible harm arising from the actions of the defendant.

It is an essential part of our legal system. Without it, there would be no limit on whom one could sue and for what.

Did you even read the link?
It is a tactic used often to Not hear cases.
Proof in point Obama vs. Keyes. As a result of Obama being in the election Alan Keyes lost the election. That is direct harm, tangible harm, arising from the actions of Obama running for Illinois State Senate. That is STANDING per your definition. Yet the judge chose not to hear it.
Arbitrary use of judical power for its own means.
