I think you are confused about what "standing" means, it is the "legal capicity to sue". It generally means being directly harmed in a manner that the court can redress with a favorable decision.

So it is quite possible that the court will say SPS has standing but decide against them because of the vagueness of the public nuisance law.

No, I'm quite clear about what standing means, thank you. They're predicating their standing on this being a violation of a nuisance statute. I didn't say they don't have standing under that statute, just that the statute is unconstitutionally vague.

Half of your constitution is unconstitutionally vague
