I'll ask again - at what point does a law become unconstitutional?

Each branch has an independent duty to interpret and uphold the Constitution.

Sorry for any misunderstanding. An unconstitutional law is unconstitutional the moment it is enacted. No court opinion required.

Sorry - but I strongly disagree - courts decide this after a law is enacted - your position is dangerous to the rule of law

No, you are not correct. We swear an oath to support and defend the Constitution. This is precisely how the Framers designed it.

Courts simply interpret Constitution and laws in course of deciding particular cases between specific parties.

So we get our own interpretation as to what is Constitutional & we can go by what we believe over the court's interpretation?

Each branch is responsible for upholding Constitution. If an actual case between specific parties arises, then court resolves.

So you are clearly not a "rule of law" guy - working in a body that makes laws - this is difficult to reconcile
