True, though if you think about it the being unconstitutional and unjust usually are pretty similiar. And the fact is that the states are going to look harder at their laws they are passing to make sure they would win in the higher court. Maybe not all the time but some of the time. It's never a good sign when all your newly passed laws are being trampled by the Courts.
