11. To my non-legal eye, this is about standing in both cases

Can the state grant citizens the right to sue in cases where citizens lack standing, and does the Federal government have standing to sue to block such a law from going into effect?

We all know the answers to these questions. You need standing to sue, but the Federal goverment has the right of enforcing Federal laws against state laws.

The question is, does this SCOTUS mixture know the answers to these questions?

I think this will turn on an invisible aspect of "religionality", much like being unable to bake a wedding cake for LGBTQ couples based on one's morality being offended. So being morally offended by abortion will be viewed as standing by the right wing majority on this Court.

Hope I'm wrong.
