And slavery would still be unconstitution even if SCOTUS disagreed.
There are some fundamental rights that are NOT fine points of law
but basic to the Constitution -- on these every one knows that the
rights exist and SCOTUS does not get to "rule them out of existence"
without ruling out the Constitution itself and thus removing authority
from the government.
Without the Constitution, all power reverts to the people.
