In the current era, lots of laws that should be settled at the state level have been taken over by the USSC - for example, Bush v. Gore, sodomy laws in texas, abortion, on and on. The court as it now exists would probably invalidate it on the (misconstrued) basis of the Equal Protection clause, or perhaps one of their infamous "discovered" rights.
