I would argue the same thing, but I'm not sure it would carry the day. Remember Justice Roberts' line from NAM v. Sebilius, something to the effect of it not being the Supreme Court's job to correct bad political choices.

With the exception of Youngstown Sheet & Tube v. Sawyer, ever since West Coast Hotel v. Parrish the Supreme Court has abandoned any pretense of requiring any branch of the Federal government to follow the Constitution.

We currently live in a world where reason has been tossed in favor of feelings.
