“Standing” again. This utterly absurd legal concept must be significantly revised. It is the root of 90% of the bad judgments coming out of all courts.
While I understand your frustration, “standing” is a fundamental element of our legal system. Standing merely requires a showing that the parties in court are actually people who have sustained some direct harm from the action being contested. Absent a government silent on all matters, standing requires a showing of harm for the government’s speech or action.
I get that. And here’s why its so hideously wrong:
I am a US Citizen. ANY federal vote for ANY president and/or US senator, even not from my state, that is acquired illegally, should automatically give me standing.
In -this- case, who —does— have standing?
