Bzzt! WRONG! While the Supreme Court may invalidate the law, there is no requirement that they do so, and, in this case, they have refused to directly rule so far.

How is what I said wrong? If you think a law is unconstitutional, you submit a brief to the Supreme Court; if you case has legal merit, they hear it.

The Supremes don't go examining the constitutionality of every law that's passed; if they did so, they'd be treating on the feet of the legislative branch and violating the separation of powers.
