	The Raw Story \| 'High-level memo' on Roberts lukewarm to environmental, abortion stance; GOP strategy is revealed
		Roberts’ consistent refrain regarding Lujan has been that, far from being the wholesale revision to the law its opponents claim, it upheld precedential standing doctrines by requiring plaintiffs to demonstrate an injury-in-fact that was not apparent in the record before the Court.
		Roberts, writing for a unanimous panel, held that the lower court’s substantial downward departure from sentencing guidelines was not warranted on the basis provided by the lower court—that the sentencing guidelines were unjust—and vacated the sentencing decision and remanded the case.
		Roberts frames the issues as “whether a federal court may effectively supply the requisite proof of standing by ‘presuming’ facts that the parties did not—and perhaps cannot—allege on their own.” This will undoubtedly be raised again, both because of its charged environmental background, and because Scalia wrote the opinion for the majority adopting Roberts’ argument.
