I think the SCOTUS is qualified to decide how the law works.
You have to show an actual harm to sue, not a theoretical one. No one has standing to sue to challenge a law that doesn't actually affect them. She is not and has never been a wedding web site designer and no LGBT people have ever asked her to make a gay marriage web site.
She showed that the law would indeed affect her.
In this case it was actually an error at the lower courts. The lower courts should have dismissed the case, but no one actually caught the lie until it got to the Supreme Court and reporters started digging.
So you're telling us that the lower courts plus the Supreme Court all got a matter of standing wrong? For your information, standing is the most frequent reason lawsuits are dismissed.
