2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““[I]t is in these cases that the plaintiff’s dispute appears to be primarily with his fellow legislators. In these circumstances, separation of powers concerns are most acute. Judges are presented ... with the possibility of thwarting Congress’ will by allowing a plaintiff to circumvent the processes of democratic decisionmaking.” Id. at 881 . See also Vander Jagt v.
