“When once a Republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles; every other correction is either useless or a new evil.” —Thomas Jefferson
Americans, well those of us paying attention to the rot and tyranny in Washington, DC, and our federal judicial system, hear a case is thrown out because some federal judge decides the plaintiff(s) do not have “standing” to bring the case. I see it as an escape for gutless judges who are either too afraid of a particular case or are in the closet partisan puppets.
Cydney Harris wrote it honestly[1]: “What is one reason why standing is an important criterion for the Supreme Court? It allows the Supreme Court to duck hearing politically sensitive cases by ruling that the plaintiff does not have standing.”
