The topic on this thread is a bit disturbing. They are not necessarily constitutional, but one is not free to disobey them without risk of consequences. That's like saying breaking law isn't illegal until you get caught. Which points out the irony: congress can make laws which violate the constitution and the resulting laws are enforceable by the executive branch until the courts say otherwise. Ditto with executive branch regulations. Maybe our checks and balances are a little slow in responding to the need for oversight.

Readers should check out something called The Kentucky Resolves.
Thomas Jefferson and James Madison stated that the fedgov is not the final determiner of what is constitutional. The states, having created the federal government, are senior to the federal government, and thus must necessarily also have standing to determine the constitutionality of federal laws.
