Duquesne Law Review
Abstract
The United States Supreme Court has held that allegations of a "subjective" chill of first amendment rights, due to the mere existence of the Army's intelligence and data gathering system, did not constitute a justiciable controversy since such allegations are not an adequate substitute for a claim of specific present objective harm or a threat of specific future harm necessary to invoke the judicial power to determine the validity of executive or legislative action.
