The practice is certainly not illegal. As to whether it's immoral, I doubt it. It certainly happens a lot more on the right than the left. Look at my previous example of abortion. Anti- flag burning laws too. There are also numerous laws that clearly violate the Establishment Clause.
Anyway, you contradict yourself by saying that the legislature passes laws that are unconstitutional and then that legislators must interpret the constitution themselves. If they are interpreting the constitution then they can't. Plus people can in some instances reasonably disagree as to whether the constitution applies in a given situation. Otherwise every Supreme Court opinion would be unanimous.
Anyway, I've enjoyed this back and forth so I've friended you. Don't feel you have to reciprocate.
