The reason I draw the distinction, is that to say the constitution is what the court says it is; is in effect to say the court can not be wrong. I agree that as a practical matter, except perhaps in a constitutional crisis, the distinction doesn't change anything, just as a totally unenforced law (unenforced even in the most indirect senses, like its violation serving as the grounds for a lawsuit, or reason to break a contract), while technically making something illegal, does nothing to stop it in a practical sense.
