I do not get how these 6 states were determined to have standing in the first place? Isn't the whole US justice system predicated on the fact that you need to experience direct or indirect harm, be an actually involved party for you to be able to sue?

You think any of this matters to fundamentalists in robes? They're the scum of the Earth, and Biden is too gutless to take them on, and had the gall to say he has a 'fear of politicizing' the court.
The US is beyond redemption.

Imagine someone gets injured at a restaurant, so they could file a suit for negligence. But instead, I sue the restaurant, even though I wasn't there and I'm not related or involved. Isn't that what they just opened up?
It definitely opens the door for a lot more frivolous litigation, though you could state that Texas kicked that door open with their vigilante abortion laws...
