Summary

The court held that the respondents lacked both taxpayer standing and individual standing to challenge the Governor's honorary Colorado Day of Prayer proclamations. Incidental public overhead costs did not create a sufficient nexus to the respondents' taxpayer status, and psychological harm from learning of the proclamations through media coverage was too indirect and incidental to constitute an injury in fact. The court therefore reversed and remanded for dismissal without reaching the constitutional merits.
