A random person doesnt have standing despite Texas legislature trying to create some new jurisprudence.
This will be struck down but the 5 justices allowing it to go forward ... absolutely going against their oath to uphold the law.
Like I said .. very dangerous for the SCOTUS seemingly becoming political. To sit on it is political bc they knew if they acted they would have to strike an unconstitutional law down.
How conservatives can cheer this on .. sad.

This. Now that SCOTUS is no longer immune to politics this will push the divide further.
I don't expect Dems to act on it though or to use it to push voters to the polls. I expected a bigger margin in 2020 after 4 years of Trump and the only thing it showed me was conservatives rose up to meet the challenge. If libs stay home next year thinking that everything's gravy because we hold the slimmest of margins in Congress we are going to get our asses kicked and things will get worse.
