The following excerpt is from People v. Luera, 103 Cal.Rptr.2d 438, 86 Cal.App.4th 513 (Cal. App. 2001):
" ' "To support a determination of facial unconstitutionality, voiding the statute as a whole, petitioners cannot prevail by suggesting that in some future hypothetical situation constitutional problems may possibly arise as to the particular application of the statute. . . . Rather, petitioners must demonstrate that the act's provisions inevitably pose a present total and fatal conflict with applicable constitutional prohibitions." ' " (Tobe v. City of Santa Ana (1995) 9 Cal.4th 1069, 1084.)
