One does not need to be a judge to make a cursory judgment of the Constitutionality of a given law and one does not need to wait for judicial review before acting on that determination. If a law is unconstitutional in its face, we are not required to abide by it even if a judge has not reviewed it. For instance if Congress said that all people over the age of 50 must be put to death because they were too much of a burden on the economy. One would not have to wait for a review of the law before telling Congress to screw off.
