Answer , nothing, he is representing Sioux people! Who are truly invested in this and are losing from this. So again, what you said he needs to make a case, he has. Yes maybe I mis-typed, but the point I made is still true. Hope he succeeds... Quote

Well considering it was your main (first) argument on how/why he had standing, it seems somewhat important. And you didn't mis-type, you flat out presented incorrect information. Because of that, your first point on why he had standing most definitely is not still true. Since you seem to know quite a bit about this, could you expand and explain how being part of the Sioux tribe has anything to do with North Dakota not being on the ballot and gives people standing to sue the University of North Dakota? 2 Quote

I am not sure how he has standing? What he going to sue UND on? Maybe one of our lawyers in the house can give us their legal analysis. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) Allow me to sum up his "standing" (in his mind):Anger != Standing Edited October 9, 2015 by The Sicatoka 1 Quote

I would explain but you would just tell me I'm wrong and you know it best. Having ND on the ballot is the start of what they are doing. If a new name is selected, it would be more difficult for them to continue. Flame away... Quote

Now can you please stop asking how he has standing? I shouldn't have wrote that part, I thought he said that, I was wrong. He is the lawyer, and the people he represents are Sioux people. There is your standing. This was all hashed out on the radio by Ryan....good show, you should listen Quote
ScottM Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 I hope he does sue, and gets his ass summarily bounced out of court, with an order to pay the defendants' attorney fees, and possibly a Rule 11 sanction. 3 Quote
