Std. Oil Co., 522 F.3d at 143 (citing Gibson v. Berryhill, 411 U.S. 564, 577, 93 S.Ct. 1689, 36 L.Ed.2d 488 (1973)). Christian Action Network has not come close to satisfying its burden to show that the State’s disciplinary action here cannot succeed, given Christian Action Network’s use of the Governor’s name without his permission, nor has it shown extreme bias or incompetence. It thus has failed to meet the bad faith, harassment, and bias exception to Younger. Christian Action Network contends also that it will suffer “great and immediate irreparable harm to fundamental constitutional rights.” Resp. at 2. But it is well-settled that a First Amendment facial challenge to a statute, like that mounted here, does not preclude Younger abstention. See Younger, 401 U.S. at 53, 91 S.Ct. 746 (<HOLDING>); see also Brooks, 80 F.3d at 641 (same).
