as stated in the other thread on this decision...

they didn't rule on the merits of the law

just said the states didn't have standing to bring the case

really need to find a person who has legit standing to bring the case up the judicial circuit

I’m not sure standing is possible to challenge the law based on the unconstitutional mandate. In effect, that’s what this decision does.

Neither the states nor individuals have a redressable injury according to SCOTUS, because there is no enforcement of the mandate currently.

Can someone explain to me very simply what “standing” means in these cases?

They could have ruled it unconstitutional and upset the left, or they could have ruled it constitutional and upset the right. Either way would have upset someone but everyone would know that the court is going to act to protect the Constitution. When they punt the ball on the big issues they upset one side and please the other, but both sides loose respect for the court. The court continues to take steps towards making itself irrelevant. Which is weird because Chief Justice Roberts main goal is preserving and/or enhancing the credibility and integrity of the court.
