Totally agree with the broader point (I think they're scared of a restrictive precedent), but I don't think a law that's been on the books for two hundred plus years is going to be out and out declared unconstitutional. It's extremely broad in the number of domains of application but that doesn't necessarily mean that it grants overly broad power.
