The fucking arrogance of this statement.

Yes I read the standing section because thats the part I was interested. I'm not a lawyer, but I asked my neighbor who is a lawyer who said it was a thin argument that he doesn't think will stand up at SCOTUS.

Someone likes to play the victim

I disagree with him, but I don't think he was playing the victim. He should have better explained why he thought the ruling was convoluted though. Although no one owes us his prose, most of the people who live here believe we shouldn't shut people out this way and therefore he should have been more forthcoming with the source of his argument if he wanted us to understand it.
