If he signed a law, someone could bring a suit saying the law was unconstitutional because he signed it and SCOTUS would have to agree

Actually the law itself might be Constitutional, but it would in effect never have been properly inacted, and thus not a law at all. Before they become laws, bills must be signed by the President, or passed over his veto by supermajorities of both houses of Congress. Any bill which he signed, would simply never have become law.

It would be one smell of a hess.
