It might be worth expanding on (if sources can be found) how this is a fairly unique aspect of American constitutional jurisprudence: similar challenges are almost never upheld outside a First Amendment context. Indeed, United States v. Salerno held that facial challenges for everything except First Amendment reasons have to reach a much higher standard that there are "no set of circumstances" that would make the law's application valid. --Delirium (talk) 08:20, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to reorganize this article to have a section for case law separate from the description, and a section for the discussion of the doctrine (i.e. its strengths and weaknesses as argued in law review articles). Additionally, I wonder if some cases are intentionally not linked to their wiki pages, or if I should add those corresponding links in my edits (i.e. US v Stevens). ----Madvlaw (talk) 15:43, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
