Can Andy Oldham really be on SCOTUS watch when he’s like 5’6ā€?

writing as a mid level associate at a biglaw firm that has not yet been targeted by Trump, if that should happen and my firm surrendered like this I would be gone within the week. This is an absolute red line for me.

Do you know why it’s unsigned?

Isn’t standing their ā€œbestā€ argument under existing precedent? Ignoring, of course, the broader theories of states’ standing that emerged during the Biden years
comment in response to post
But even so, no private plaintiffs would have standing or a cause of action if I’m reading the statute correctly? So it’s sort of a moot point if AG Bondi doesn’t want to enforce the law
comment in response to post
Not necessarily. It’s common for plaintiffs to forum shop and try to find the best court for their claims regardless of what the standard is. I think it’s fair to judge them for that decision, but I wouldn’t say it’s out of the ordinary
comment in response to post
Fair question! I’d defer to any Iowa practitioner on that. Possible there might be procedural advantages (I.e., a lower pleading standard)
