The Supreme Court can't rule on an issue until it has been legitimately legally challenged in a court of original jurisdiction and all lower court appeals have been exhausted (with a few exceptions).

A legitimate legal challenge requires a plaintiff who has been damaged by application of a law or policy, or a proxy who has standing to bring suit on behalf of one or more people who have been damaged.
