Nice guess, but no. The Supreme Court ruled about a century ago in response to a President's request for an advisory opinion that the Court's constitutional duty is decide "cases or controversies" but not issue "advisory opinions." It confirmed this position in later cases.

Close, but no cigar.

So, what's the solution then? Why not tell us in order that we might learn. Thanks!
