CATO backed the suit and their board of directors is about half bankers or former bankers. This isn't even the first time they tried this, back October last year.
They couldn't win in public opinion, they couldn't win by lobbying, so they tried it in court. They failed completely to demonstrate that they had any standing to bring this case.
They also claim to be libertarian. Just something to remember the next time people tell you that there is a difference between the two.
Don't you know? You don't need standing anymore. You only need imaginary hypothetical possible standing.

Yeah I admit I don't understand the law very well but it's weird how offended observer no longer counts for church separation laws. That web design event planner was especially interesting since no one gay had actually asked about it. Seems the lawyers just made it up.
It was very strange. Most lawyers expected the supreme court to toss it due to lack of standing. The fact that they didn't means that they're more of a legislative branch now. It's not a good precedent to set.
