From prominent conservative legal leader Leonard Leo: ”The ballroom case is really about who can sue in federal court, and there’s no question that the plaintiff here can’t. For decades the Left has been abusing standing doctrine to push its agenda through our federal courts, and the Court has an opportunity here to put an end to that abuse.”” on August 21, 2026 at 2:12 PM ET.
