  • holding that the plaintiff had suffered an injury sufficient to establish standing where an unconstitutional application of law created a claim \redressable at least by nominal damages\
  • holding that invoking the term “facial challenge” “does not provide [a litigant] a passport to explore the constitutionality of every provision of the Sign Regulation”
  • concluding that the plaintiff's facial challenge to the sign regulation failed because the regulation was content neutral and \did not need time limitations on decisionmaking to be constitutional\
  • holding that billboard company’s standing to chal- lenge the permit procedure “does not provide it with a pass- port to explore the constitutionality of every provision of the Sign Regulation”
  • holding that the standing analysis must not be confused with the merits of a case because “[a] plaintiffs standing to bring a case does not depend upon his ultimate success on the merits underlying his case”
  • holding that the standing analysis must not be confused with a determination of the merits because “[a] plaintiff’s standing to bring a case does not depend upon his ultimate success on the merits underlying his case”
