Actually, as soon as it gets passed, the Supreme Court couldn't rule it
unconstitutional. They can't do that until it is an issue in a case they
hear. We would have to wait for somebody to be arrested via a law enacted
by that bill. Then they could proceed to send a writ of certatia to the
Supreme Court (that's basically a formal letter asking the court to hear the
case). After the Court hears the case could they then declare the laws in
the bill to be unconstitutional.
