    This is an issue called “standing”. In the American legal system, in order to bring a case to court, you must have proper legal standing to make whatever argument or claim you’re trying to make.

    It’s great that standing can be hypothetical when the courts rule in favor of bigoted wedding photographers, but can’t even exist when Republicans disenfranchise the minorities they hate.
