It is lawful whenever it is deemed by the Courts to be lawful...end of story. It was a 5-4 decision that the ACLU did not have standing. I have not read the minority decisions and I do not intend to...but none the less the challenge was barely defeated...but that is immaterial...it was defeated and it frequently happens. That is our system...end of story.
Eventually some one that makes a challenge will have standing and maybe even the ACLU...if they come back at it with a slightly different legal point. This sort of thing is not infrequent. As I stated the wheels of justice can...and often does...work slowly.
