Is that location always knelt? or is the person able to stand that location during standing phase?
It stands during the standing phase.
I believe this card is up for some debate.

The card states:
"Attach to an opponent's location.
Kneel that location."

It doesn't say "Choose and kneel a location" as most response cars do, it is two separate commands and each are in separate sentences implying they are not in relation to one another.

#1) Attach to an opponent's location. Do this so the attachment has a card in play that it is legally attache to and is discarded along with that card.
#2) Kneel that location. Not "Response: When attached to an opponents location, kneel that location."

Thoughts?
It doesn't make too much difference if the kneel effect is a passive ability, a response, or even a constant. There is no special text on the card that prevents the attached location from standing during the standing phase, so it will. The Framework of each phase must be followed unless a card specifically states an exception. If the card said something like "attached location does not stand during the standing phase", "attached location cannot stand", or "If attached location is standing, kneel it", that would be another thing.
