Federal laws are often argued in court on an unconstitutional basis when the Congress oversteps its authority. This occurs when Congress is unable to justify a law as having some reasonable relationship to regulating interstate commerce. Federal Laws have been thrown on based on this in the past. It doesn't happen often, but it does still occur. Courts will rule that their regulation of interstate commerce is just simply too far of stretch sometimes. Read the part of the constitution describing the powers given to the Congress. I think it will be eye-opening to you. As much as you would like to believe that Congress should have the power to pass all the good laws it sees fit, they were never given the blanket power, by the people, to do this.
