No, that's not how laws work. That's like saying a 55 mph speed limit isn't 55 mph until someone challenges it in court and loses.

Um it is how laws work. They have force until they are found unconstitutional.

No, that's absolutely false. And believing such a myth is perhaps the biggest threat today to our Constitution and the Rule of Law.

Not sure how you think that is a myth, that IS how it works.

It's a fundamental principle of our system that a law that violates Constitution IS void; not made void by SCOTUS. See Marbury v. Madison.

But in PRACTICAL sense that is not true. It is enforced, it goes to court and continues until SCOTUS or other court strikes it down

A law does not have to be enforced—and, in fact, should not be enforced—if the executive branch believes it is unconstitutional.

Wow, so you get to pick an choose which laws are followed. Why aren't you chancing unlawful laws? With that thought, your not a danger too.

The Constitution is the supreme law of the land. Any law that violates the Constitution is void and not to be enforced. This is America 101.
