Of course there is. Absent a regulatory formula and a method of plugging in life events to result in a score (sort of like a credit rating but probably more akin to the Federal Sentencing Guidelines), there is always going to be an element of subjectivity.

Good Moral Character?
Recent meeting with FAA included discussion issue of new ATP ticket. It is appropriate to ask if applicant has ever had a felony conviction. A positive answer would preclude the designee from issuing the certificate without direction from the local FAA office/legal.

Are there new standards in the FARs for an ATP? Or is this some internal FAA/FSDO policy?

Administrative law is the wild wild west, as we're seeing.
I don't remember precisely, but you're not entitled to due process in the criminal or civil sense of the word—like, the Constitutional sense. What you are entitled to is at least some substantive due process: if your certificate is wrongly denied there are appeals processes that do extend all the way to the civilian court system. It just takes a while and a few rulings by NTSB and a few ALJs to get there.
I'm not saying this is right: this is simply how I understand it to be.
