What Scalia said, in a nutshell, is “it’s not legitimate for courts to not hear a case because they don’t feel like it,” said Mark McKenna, a professor at Notre Dame Law School. He studied the practical effect of prudential standing rules on false-advertising cases, along with Deborah Gerhardt and Kevin McGuire of the University of North Carolina and found significant disparities in who was allowed to sue.

This decision “basically forces all of the circuits to redo their tests,” which is rare for the Supreme Court, since it more often picks one circuit’s test and orders the rest to follow it.
