It is my understanding that our judicial systems must assume that all laws are constitutional until challenged by someone with standing. Otherwise every law passed would have to pass through the judicial system before becoming accepted law.

There is nothing untrue about this statement. Doesn't mean that later it can't be deemed unconstitutional PROVIDED someone can prove harm or challenged the law. There has to be a plaintiff, clearly most Constitutional scholars think the Louisiana Purchase was done in a unconstitutional way. But nobody complained about the real estate deal of the millennium so it stood, though most think the deal was blatantly unconstitutional
