Quote Quoting Taxing Matters

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.
If that is the case then I cannot imagine a scenario where anybody would ever have standing. Who is specifically harmed by the pres etc. accepting monetary favors? To me it's a law that there is no discernible injured party other than society in whole.

Can you suggest an example of where you would have such an injured party?
