In
violation of the
Constitution of the United States. A
law that is itself
illegal to have and to
enforce. In any
conflict, the
Constitution takes
precedence over any other
law, and thus should a law
contradict the
rights given to the people by the Constitution be
invalid.
However, sometimes it seems that the national and state Congresses pays no attention to the Constitution while writing and passing laws, all too often coming up with something that ends up being taken to court and found unconstitutional by a Judge with a little common sense. I would be interested in knowing how much money and time is spent taking bad laws to court to nullify them.
