William Clardy v. Troy D. Jackson

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of the challenge to Maine's First Special Session of the 131st Legislature because none of the plaintiffs established standing. The individual plaintiffs alleged only generalized effects of legislation, the legislators failed to show a concrete impairment of their legislative interests, and the organization lacked members with individual standing. Because standing was absent, the court did not reach the constitutional merits or the defendants' other defenses.
