1. This continues the new judicial trend that the SC started decades ago

The SC has issued a number of very far reaching decisions that are based on nothing. No precedent supports them and seem to dwindle down to the almost parental malediction, “because we say so…”

Bush v Gore, Citizen’s United, Shelby v Holder, Dobbs—all decisions larded with statements of “fact” that were, in fact, not fact but bald assertions without any real support.

The federal courts have learned that these assertions often go unchallenged. If you say it, it then becomes true. Now we have a court claiming a lack of standing based on nothing and dismissing the case.

Another nonsense decision from a judiciary poisoned first by decades of well positioned Federalist Society partisan judicial candidates and then by grotesque executive branch irresponsibility.

The system is now fully compromised. Whether Disney can find a rational court to appeal this absurd decision to remains to be seen.
