Goodness me! Imagine how stressful it is to ER doctors to treat the victims of gunshots, particularly from the AK-15's ammunition. I assume the Supreme Theological Court will ban firearms. Oh, wait. They like firearms.

Adam, thank you for your clear and brilliant posts on these decisions. For a court of appeals to not understand the implications of their standing argument is frightening. Opening up standing to anyone who claims they might potentially be affected by a change in a rule, or permitting organizations to manufacture standing by expending resources (print flyers!), is a power grab for the judiciary: it hollows out the cases & controversies requirement of Art III, and thus shifts power from the legislature to the judiciary. It is anti-majoritarian, and a significant realignment of the separation of powers. (I find it hard not to read this opinion on ideological terms.)
