If a law violates the constitution, you can take it to court. All the way to the Supreme Court which is the ultimate decider of what is and is not constitutional.

That is how abortion became legal. One person went to court challenging the law against it as unconstitutional.

There are already cases in court over the Patriot act. The Congress knows many parts will be overturned. But they will gather a lot in the time period before tha happens.
