No standing, no injunction
February 12, 2026
In Vapor Tech. Ass’n v. Graham, “[a] group of retailers, distributors, and trade associations” challenged a state law about “vaping” equipment. The Fifth Circuit held that they lacked standing: “Rather than identify a particularized constitutional injury of their own, they assert a generalized grievance: that Mississippi has enacted and seeks to enforce a statute allegedly inconsistent with federal law. But a generalized interest in constitutional governance, standing alone, is insufficient to confer standing. Article III bars federal courts from resolving such abstract disputes.” No. 25-60694 (Feb. 11, 2026).
