The bill may possibly be constitutional and needed for the country, but the people in the judicial branch don't think so, making for a flawed system.

Judicial Review allows the courts to declare acts of the legislature and the executive to be unconstitutional and thus null and void. It gives the Judicial Branch the power to interpret the laws and actions of the other two branches and is an important part of the "checks and balances" system established in the Constitution to prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful. Judicial Review may cause a president or Congress to delay some activity or law until they get an opinion from legal advisers as to the constitutionality of the action or law, but it establishes how and who will have the final say as to the constitutionality of that act or law.

Case law is law developed through appellate courts' decisions of how law applies to facts and whether a set of facts constitutes some kind of legal wrong. The good thing is that courts try to follow from the last case that is similar ("precedent" or "stare decisis") and change things only when they see the facts as different requiring different outcomes. This provides consistency in the legal system, so that if you have one situation that is like others, it should be viewed by the courts the same way. The major disadvantage is that once courts establish a precedent, getting them to change it can be extremely difficult. For example, it took over 50 years for the courts to change the law and decide that the idea of "separate but equal" laws regarding the races was wrong because things were never really equal and therefore were discriminatory.
