Plaintiffs’ fear of prosecution is “imaginary or speculative” at best

I’ve only skimmed the opinion, but looks like case dismissed without prejudice, because the judge rules State of Texas and the individual plaintiffs have no standing to bring the suit.

Someone’s going to have to get prosecuted under federal law to carry case forward appears to be what the judge is saying.

First, there must be a concrete injury in fact that is not conjectural or hypothetical. Whitmore v. Arkansas, 495 U.S. 149, 149 (1990). Second, there must be causation—a fairly traceable connection between a plaintiff’s injury and the complained-of conduct of the defendant. Simon v. E. Ky. Welfare Rts. Org., 426 U.S. 26, 41–42 (1976). Third, there must be redressability—a likelihood that the requested relief will redress the alleged injury. See Lujan, 504 U.S. at 562.
