Justice is not a pendulum.
This sent me on a rabbit-hole that is now at creating a SCOTUS
Amicus as 'The Public being served'. Its members live in jurisdictions whose fire, police, and
emergency-medical services are funded by their taxes and answerable, in the end, to no
one else. Amicus submits this brief because the interest its members hold — in being
rescued by responders selected for demonstrated capacity to rescue them — is not
represented by any party to this case. Standing doctrine properly bars them as
plaintiffs: their injury accrues only on the night the standard fails. Rule 37 exists
for precisely this situation.
Bravo! Congratulations to both you and Gail Heriot. Well done.
