In Cornucopia Institute v. U.S. Dep't of
Agriculture, 884 F. 3d 795 (7th Cir. 2018), the court of
appeals affirmed the district court's ruling dismissing the
plaintiffs' complaint for lack of standing challenging the
appointment by the U.S. secretary of agriculture of purportedly

court observed that it could not direct the secretary to appoint

candidates who they argued are unqualified.
