@Miriamm bad laws get passed to virtue signal to a political base, then courts, including state courts, can rule them unconstitutional (there are state as well as the national constitution). Constitutional rules are supposed to determine what kind of laws are legal. There are no consequences for traumatizing people and wasting everyone's' time, unless it is political clout lost, which is why they only pick on persecuted minorities. Some states are becoming shit holes, though.
