• concluding that plaintiff was not “subject to ‘a credible threat of prosecution’” under a statute that did not proscribe plaintiff’s intended conduct (citation omitted)
• explaining that the reason for allowing this type of claim is “to eliminate the deterrent or chilling effect an overbroad law may have”
• noting that an “as-applied challenge consists of a challenge to the statute’s application only as-applied to the parties] before the court”
• finding that the threat of criminal prosecution can provide an injury in fact even if plaintiff has not engaged in the prohibited conduct
• concluding the plaintiff’s claims were moot when the charges against its member were dismissed and “there [was] no evidence that the Party, or even one of its members, [was] under imminent threat of prosecution”
• defining an “as-applied challenge” as one “to the statute’s application only as-applied to the party before the court”
