any judge who wants to ignore precedent and grant standing to any particular plaintiff is free to do so.

The judiciary are not kings. Congress can pass bills and presidents can sign those bills into law that limit the power of the judiciary and Congress often does juat that.

Remember the words of President Andrew Jackson when the Supreme Court ruled against him on his opposition to the Bank of the United States: “They have made their decision, now let them enforce it!” Jackson simply ignored the high court.

In any event, there are no issues of standing on the criminal side of the judicial system. Obama’s eligibility can be investigated by any prosecuting attorney in the US who convenes a Grand Jury and looks at whether there is enough evidence for an indictment.

Civil lawsuits don’t usually adversely impact the presidency. If a president loses a lawsuit, his attorneys file appeals and it drags on for years. Indictments and the filing of criminal charges DO impact the presidency, either by forcing a resignation (Nixon) or by providing the grounds for impeachment (Clinton).
