It is a flawed checks and ballances.  Once a law passes that is one
day declared unconstitutional, the dammage has already begun.  It will
often take years or decades to undo the direct dammage.  But the
indirect dammage will last forever.  It will cost millions of dollars
and greatly affect, if not destroy, the lives of many innocent people.
