biggs/tobin v. Hon. cooper/brewer/betlach

Summary

The court held that a bloc of legislators who voted against a bill has standing to challenge its enactment when, assuming a constitutional supermajority requirement applies, the bloc had enough votes to defeat the bill. The bloc alleged a particularized institutional injury because passage by a simple majority effectively nullified its votes. The court therefore reversed the superior court's dismissal insofar as it rested on lack of standing and remanded without reaching the merits.
