The difference, though, is that "unconstituional" is a much more clear-cut call to make than "unjust". The Constitution is a written document. "Justice" can be much more elusive in definition.

Not thet you don't see people trying to bend the words of the Constitution far out of shape in order to suit their ends, though.
