They are both lawyers -- it is an occupational requirement.
If you ever need an attorney you really want one that revels in the sound of his own voice.
Just for example look at the public transportation issue. The act calls out busses, subways, ferries, airports...on and on. The plaintiffs are all from upstate NY where there are no subways, and their license is not good in NYC. So they have standing to challenge busses, but not public...
I think Suddaby is really saying: "Bring me a plaintiff who lives in NYC and has a carry license and he will have standing."
And, we probably want to do this by ammending the complaint, so that it stays with the same judge.
