The argument for standing was kind of thin. It was a historic preservation trust arguing they would be sad if they saw this ugly ballroom built. But the problem is that the Court's standing doctrine is so difficult, it's hard to see who would have standing here. A taxpayer doesn't have standing even though the admin's action here is clearly unlawful under the budgetary authority. I guess a member of Congress?

Apparently in all but the narrowest circumstances, it would have to be an action authorized by the body, otherwise you don't have standing. So you need a majority of either the house or senate to authorize the suit.

Don't worry, these faggots didn't bother to try and provide guidance on standing. Gotta save that for when dems are back in power. For now if you're not president you don't have standing.

This was a preliminary injunction, right? The irreparable harm and balancing of the equities really favored plaintiffs here even if the merits were murky because of the standing issue. They should have let the PI stand.

Roberts saw this as a painless way to oppose Trump but he couldn't get Barrett to join. (i realize that citing Josh Blackman is 152 but sometimes he's right.)
