A good litmus test is if you are questioning whether a law is constitutional, you shouldn’t vote in favor of it. That’s upholding your oath. Getting it wrong isn’t breaking your oath, not caring whether it breaks your oath and putting pedal to the metal anyway is. The Constitution really only works when all parties involved are doing that much, which is why it’s egregious when a POTUS is like “yeah this is probably unconstitutional but I’m gonna sign it anyway and see what the courts say”. That’s the mark of a bad President that doesn’t care about his oath. So yeah, when all else fails, it does end up coming down the courts, and under our own existing laws it shouldn’t be that way because the courts can get it wrong too and sometimes have. So I’m with you that it’s a shitty law regardless of constitutionality, but it’s extra shitty when it comes with willful oathbreaking. They get away with it largely because our fellow Californians don’t give a shit.
