• holding that black fair employment testers, who posed as job applicants and were denied referrals by the defendant employment agency, lacked standing to seek injunctive relief absent sufficient allegations that their rights would be violated by the agency in the future
• noting that as case moved beyond pleading stage, plaintiff, to show standing, needed to offer \support for [its] claim that [defendant's] alleged discrimination has `perceptibly impaired' [its] programs\
• concluding a cognizable injury was established where the challenged conduct \might increase the number of people in need\ of the organization's services
• noting that Title VII permits suits by “anyone who satisfies the constitutional requirements” (quoting Gray v. Greyhound Lines, 545 F.2d 169, 176 (D.C. Cir. 1976))
• noting that standard for future injury has been formulated as “likely,” “fairly probable,” and “certainly impending,” among others
• finding that Title VII “confer[s] a cause of action upon everyone who meets the Article III requirements — that is, anyone genuinely injured by conduct that violates someone’s rights”
