United States v. Sineneng-Smith
590 U.S. 371 (2020)
Key Principle
Under the principle of party presentation, courts must decide the case the parties actually present, and a court of appeals abuses its discretion when it injects and resolves an issue (here First Amendment overbreadth) that no party raised.
