What I meant was. when they are deciding if the owners of HL had their constitutional rights violated, they aren't supposed to care about opening up a larger can of worms. If the law is unconstitutional, they should declare such, and deal with the ramifications. At least, that's how it's supposed to work with SCOTUS.
