Standing is the killer of many cases, an excuse not to take or decide a case. BTW, is the issue of standing new or does this occur throughout history? I haven’t seen any discussion or analysis on this.

The plaintiffs made a mistake of consolidating cases under the state AG's. The court basically said the have to prove how each individual was wronged, each of whom I guess is supposed to have $100K laying around to start Federal proceedings.

A larger issue is why the states would not have standing when the claim is that the Feds are violating their citizen's rights. Are they also not harmed when the Feds harm their citizens?
