The federal courts may decide only cases and controversies.1 The case2 requirement delineates the reach of the federal judicial power, distinguishing the territory of the federal courts from that of the political branches3 and enforcing the mandate of limited federal jurisdiction.4 The meaning of the case requirement is therefore a primary issue of constitutional interpretation. Nevertheless, there is no overarching definition of a case. The
