"...Regardless of my opinion on the matter though,
whether something is unconstitutional or not
depends on how the SCOTUS interprets it.

On this I have to say that you're wrong, Wissa.
Your opinion, and mine, is more imoprtant than the Courts.
That's why we have a 7th Amendment,
protecting our right to trial by jury.
If the law as written, and the opinion of the Judges, were all that mattered, we wouldn't need trial be jury. A jury has the power to nullify bad law. You, as a citizen and potential juror, are a check against violations of your fellow citizen's rights.
Do you believe that "politically correct" speach enforcement violates our right of free speach? Do you believe that a man has the right to kill in defense of his property and family? Do you believe that we have the right to weapons, without a background check first? Do you think that the "War on Drugs" is wrong, that people should be allowed their drugs just as others are allowed their beer? Ignore what the Judge tells you when he says, "The only thing that matters is did he violate the law." The Judge is lying, and he is lying on purpose. The Supreme Court ruled years ago that a Judge doesn't have to tell you the real power you possess.
Fulfill your Constitutional duty if called for jury duty.
Show up.
If anyone asks you
if you've ever heard
of Jury Nullification,
say with a straight face, "No."
Go to trial, and vote what you think is right.
You have an interesting view of jury duty when you encourage jurors to lie.
