The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Lets not forget that the evidence regarding many "X" events was never evaluated by the court because the case was dismissed for lack of standing by the plaintiffs.

Which could have been cured in a matter of hours to a couple of days by a competent attorney. There have to be hundreds if not 10s of thousands of people who would have standing to bring the cases. Finding one of those folks willing to become the plantiff is not at all difficult.

So why didn't the Trump attorneys find a plantiff who did have standing?

Come to think of it, standing is a pretty basic concept for a competent attorney. Why would the attorney even bring the case if there were questions about the plantiff's standing? Or at least be prepared to address the question of standing that the defense would surely raise?
