I think I can say with 100% certainty that the Supreme Court would declare such a law unconstitutional.

But that is what it all boils down to, anyway. You disagree with the way the Court has been ruling for decades.

That's fine. Your arguments have merit. It's just that the Supreme Court's arguments carry significantly more weight.

It's just that the Supreme Court's arguments carry significantly more weight.

Their errors carry as much weight as they do because too many people assume that how they rule truly does reflect what the Constitution says. And that enables them to go further and further overboard with their rulings. Now of course this is different from the question of whether their rulings have power to them. But we have a holiday coming up to remind us that might doesn't make right.
