The student loan cases provide another opportunity for the Supreme Court to clarify when (and why) states are proper plaintiffs to challenge federal policies
Do you have any concern about the hypothetical where, with some clever program design, the executive branch could insulate any new benefits from review by ensuring no one at all has standing to challenge it?
The question of when states can challenge federal action is a fascinating part of the balance of power in the U.S. It’s interesting to see how legal standing and state interests can shape these disputes. I was also looking into related public information through https://averycountypropertyappraiser.org while researching the topic. Cases like these really show how complex the relationship between state and federal authority can be.
Great read, thank you!
This is excellent, thank you.
Is it proper to say that citizens are Americans first, then "insert state" next?
I feel that Texas has sued the federal government 25 times already; it appears that being a Texan is more important than being an American.
Does that make sense? Or am I off?
Love your analysis! Can’t wait for the next one!
Excellent analysis! Thank you for your teachings. 'Standing' is now something I understand.
You contribute to Scotusblog. How will this effort differ?

Thank you, Boss. Keep slayin' 'em.
