The "injured" parties certainly have legal standing...but the question is can they sue before they are injured?

But Cuccinelli (R) went his own way, arguing that a Virginia
law enacted this month that prohibits the government from requiring people to buy health insurance creates an "immediate, actual controversy" between state and federal law that gives the state unique standing on which to sue.
