"Otherwise it would be an example of Congress or a state legislature, not a court, making a decision that had no clear support in the constitution" No. That is not the same as overturning a law due to finding it unconstitutional. For instance your DUI laws which deny the right to a trial before conviction and penalty are unconstitutional. All such Court decisions emanating from such are unconstitutional. Some day they will be overturned by the Supreme Court. Because, as I said, "Sometimes the courts make decisions that have no clear support in the constitution".
