What would give them standing? They'd have to be an entity protected by the constitution to claim that protection was harmed. Is it this (Wikipedia)?
I guess I've never thought about what makes an entity have rights here. Buckingham Palace couldn't just open shop here and start suing our government, right?
The case is essentially "hey you kinda passed a bill that's against your own constitution? You're kinda supposed to follow that..."
Does the US constitution apply for rights of businesses, or is it just people?
