Further, we note that neither this Court nor the Supreme Court has determined whether a potential intervenor must even have Article III standing. See Diamond v.

A: recognizing that the government not the relator must have suffered the injury in fact required for article iii standing

C: holding noneconomic harm satisfies article iii standing requirements
D: holding that because article iii standing is jurisdictional it must be decided before other legal issues
