The law is whatever the judge says it is. If 8 U.S. Code, section 1324 stands in the way, it will be ignored or interpreted in light of some other judicial precedent to arrive at the desired outcome.

And to top it off, the judge will say this outcome is compelled either by law, or by the clear language in the constitution.

I agree. Laws are meaningless in this era. The law is how a judge decides to twist it to suit his preferred outcomes and political ideology.
