I don't discount your immediate concern, but Bart's observation is an exercise of foresight.
If the answer to the questions "Is this constitutional?" can be found by asking a) "What does the COTUS say about this?" or b) "What would be a good public policy result based on my values or my read of current preferences?", I would like the people who feed into the judiciary to possess a culture that favors A. If even the people whose public policy recommendations I oppose also favor method A, there is a whole genre of constitutional nonsense that is less likely to make it into a Sup Ct majority decision.
If you are obese, having a salad for lunch doesn't mean you'll be skinny in the evening, but it may contribute to a longer term solution.
