First Choice Women’s Resource Centers, Inc. v. Davenport · ¶20

This case presents a narrow question. We are not asked to decide the merits of First Choice's federal lawsuit, only whether it may proceed. Article III of the Constitution vests federal courts with the “judicial Power” to decide “Cases” and “Controversies.” § 2, cl. 1. Inherent in that assignment is a “standing” requirement consisting of three elements: “injury in fact, causation, and redressability.” Di amond Alternative Energy, LLC v. EPA, 606 U. S. 100, 110– 111 (2025). Together, these elements help us distinguish cases and controversies ft for judicial resolution from questions of public policy reserved to the elected branches or abstract disputes better left to the debating hall. See ibid.
