Must have bona fide dispute, fed courts don't decide hypothetical questions, i.e. becomes moot. Statute can be repealed and thus can't be enforced moot issue. Policy my change. Litigates may settle out of court. Courts less likely to dismiss criminal case that's moot. But if defendant dies it is dismissed (no shit).
