They've already started. Most recent is Kim Davis (remember the Kentucky county clerk who refused to issue same sex marriage licenses) just filed a petition with The Supreme Court calling for them to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges (same-sex marriage)

    I really, really hoped I'd never hear her name again... But how would she ever have standing to challenge the court decision? She's not county clerk anymore.

    ‘Standing’ is usually just a way for judges to block or promote hearing of cases. It is very arbitrary and squishy.

    Due to her previous crimes and involvement in the justice system, followed by her ‘career’ as a ‘public figure’ centered around these issues, a judge can safely grant standing if they feel like doing so.
