Practice question: Facial Challenges and Overbreadth Doctrine

Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

A court in a limited facial-expression case leaves a nonspeech objection for a proper actual dispute requiring evidence. An official announces that the objection has therefore been substantively approved against every future claimant. What distinction does Calleja preserve?
  1. Every unexamined application was conclusively validated
  2. Declining that facial adjudication does not itself foreclose a later proper as-applied challenge
  3. All later evidence is constitutionally irrelevant
  4. Only a law’s title may ever be challenged
  5. Facial review abolishes actual-case litigation
