re: #57 Obdicut

When has there ever been a supreme court case about this?

not to my knowledge. which is why I’m wondering. if there had been I’d probably been reasonably sure.

can’t see the current court ignore that kind of standing tradition out of hand, as well as giving the executive branch such an expanded discretion easily though. again, I don’t know. maybe we’ll see, maybe you’re right!
I’m not defending some ironclad legal argument here, hell, US constitutional law isn’t exactly taught in these parts that much. I saw a post from sergey romanov which I found intriguing, so I asked into that, and you elaborated. I never said your idea *won’t* fly; just that it’s not entirely uncontroversial. hell, I’m sure you’ll agree these are uncharted waters! not saying my (rather more skeptical) arguments would win out.

anyway, thanks for elaborating; always interesting reading material around here ;)
