βStandingβ is made up gobbledygook that courts use to get out of having to rule on important issues. It made sense as a legal doctrine when SCOTUS first crafted it, but it has sense become an excuse to ride the bench, or actively shoot down otherwise valid cases.
What pisses me off the most is the courts saying no one had standing when they filed their case. How do citizens not have standing?!?
