If the legislature makes a law saying it's OK to shoot an innocent person, the courts should clearly be able to rule on whether that law violates our rights. I'm not 100% sure they do have that ability, but I find it hard to think of why they shouldn't be able to rule on the matter.

Here, the question seems to be "is shooting this person under these circumstances a form of seizure" not "is shooting this person under these circumstances Constituional/good/OK".
