    Justice Department attorney Daniel Schwei argued that the freeze shouldn’t be put on hold because the plaintiffs hadn’t specified anyone who would immediately lose funding if it does go into effect.

    I’m imagining the plaintiffs countered by motioning vaguely at the entire country.

    Also fuck this guy. “It doesn’t count unless you specifically identify all the people we’d be victimizing,” is straight up bully logic.

      Isn’t this common? You need standing to sue, someone has to be harmed first. Its not all the people, but at least one.
