re: #55 Political Atheist

My position is that the court’s own rules (as shown above from the SCOTUS web site) do not say it is limited to only ruling on the constitutionality of a law.

However, if SCOTUS is going to strike down a law, there really is no other basis other than its unconstitutionality (real or alleged).

An argument for a law to be struck down because it is ineffective wouldn’t get off the ground. There is no justification for striking down a law on that basis.
