Often in the law one doesn't get to argue their substantive case if they are procedurally incorrect.

No question, that's correct. But you and I and Allen are discussing all sorts of aspects of the case, including the substantive. I think we've established, in this conversation, that legal opinions are not the product of bias/point of view/whatever alone; and that more than procedural questions are at stake.

But the third element, political, is likely the determinative, whether or not any body actually files a case. The congressional Reps may well decide that filing a case will only give the Main Street/Wall Street issue more visibility via the publicity about the Cordray nomination, more visibility than they would like.
