    Every law is potentially unconstitutional until the Supreme Court says is isn’t. Here the court is just saying that this particular law isn’t so obviously and extremely unconstitutional that the ordinary process of appeals ought to be bypassed.

    (I happen to think that the law is probably constitutional so IMO the Supreme Court is being reasonable, but I’m not a lawyer…)

      It’s blatantly, abundantly unconstitutional. That hasn’t exactly stopped SCOTUS in the past, but it’s exactly as unconstitutional as the Feds having jurisdiction over pot possession.
