Yes, maybe so.
But the constitution determines what is constitutional and what is not. Just because a few guys with powdered wigs sit on high chairs and pass judgment on things they often neither understand nor are capable of comprehending
Today's Supreme Court - when filled with the type conservative Republican nutcases that Bush has chosen to fill it with - doesn't even apply the constitutional principles of the constitution. Instead, they do what is politically correct, expedient and inexpensive and/or profitable for them.
