So, if the plaintiffs don't have standing, just who would? It's a violation of the constitution so any and all citizens should have standing as it harms every one of us.
That is not good enough to have standing. In order to maintain a suit in federal court, you must be able to show an actual injury specific to you, not just some generalized harm to the general public. In some circumstances there simply isn't going to be individual standing to sue over some government action that a person may feel violates the Constitution. The remedy there is the political process, not the courts.

I am not going to weigh in on the specifics of this particular lawsuit as the political passions surrounding it will likely mean this thread will soon devolve into rounds of little more than partisan bickering, and I want no part of that.
