Is it really that straightforward? Is this suit brought by a formal organization bringing suit on behalf of its members? Would the members have standing to sue on their own? Are the interests in question germane to that organization’s purpose? Are the individuals required for the litigation? These are all (arguably) factual questions making summary judgment inappropriate.
However I’m guessing you know something I don’t. What am I missing?
- HillRat 3y agoYeah, I wasn't clear as to my reasoning: if you read the filing, they go out of their way to refuse the disclose the underlying plaintiffs' identities and specifics of alleged harm, so filing under associational standing is a gambit to evade FRCP 10(a) and hide plaintiffs' identities for (IMO) improper reasons -- embarrassment and economic harm are not sufficient reasons to allow pseudonymous filings, but they'd have trouble finding sympathetic plaintiffs who are willing to publicly associate themselves with this case.
