I also hear that the right wing of the Supreme Court ignores standing when they want to. If so, that is yet more evidence that something is rotten here.

Seems Alito has a 100% record of granting “standing” to conservatives to hear cases brought to SCOTUS.

“Alito cannot be accused of the even-handed application of the law. He has been described as the court’s “most reliable partisan.” The evidence concerns his rulings on the doctrine of standing — whether a party is entitled to bring their claims to court. “An empirical analysis of the Court’s ‘standing’ decisions,” wrote Ian Milhiser in Vox, “found that Alito rules in favor of conservative litigants 100 percent of the time, and against liberal litigants in every single case.”
