How can you not have standing? They denied you a civil right? They can drag it out, but it's not a good idea.But when you file a suit is when the standing problem rears its ugly head. If standing is challenged by the defendants and that challenge is upheld, that decision would have to be appealed, dragging out timeline and cost before any hearings on issues could even start.
Yes, it would be abuse of process. But remember who we're talking about.
