"Tangible harm." Right. Despite the company itself (MOHELA) stating it had no involvement in the original suit that named them as a plaintiff, and as a company that exists solely to process government paperwork, they have no opinion on the matter.

They said this, but it did not matter. The main plaintiff of the case that went to the Supreme Court, didn't even want to be a part of it. They were just a pawn for Boomer Republicans who greedily ate up billions in PPP loans that they may or may not have needed, before pulling the ladder up behind them and making sure nobody else can get anything remotely similar.

Fuck all of these people.

I wonder if they can send a representative and make a motion to dismiss it.

Wouldn't matter. The Biden admin can move to dismiss without them. The motion is decided on the merits, which means it isn't stronger just because it has Mohela's signature on it.
