Yet.
They didn’t reach it because it was moot. They strongly hinted that if they did reach the question, it would be unconstitutional as well.
(Questions like this are like, “Would I buy a million dollar ice cream sundae?” Well, I don’t have a million dollars, so I don’t reach the question of “would I”, but you can assume I would not.)

Uh, if it’s illegal, why isn’t someone going to jail?

Courts will always try to take the easy way out. A Constitutional challenge will require one vs. an agency actually following the law.

@robert:
Because the executive has monopoly on federal prosecutions (except for impeachment based ones) so why would he prosecute himself?
