But would such a statement also protect a law that otherwise was obviously unconstitutional, as opposed to being simply open to an interpretation of its meaning or how it interacts with other laws?

For example, could congress and the white house pass a law saying that all congressmen have to be Catholic, and label it so as to prevent judicial review?

It doesn't seem like they should be able to do so, or that a court would interpret the constitution as allowing them to do so.

You are getting into the "fundamental law" question I referred to but did not discuss in my reply. This is a complex subject that cannot be even adequately outlined in mere posts on FR. If you are seriously interested in the subject, spend about eight hours reading on Supreme Court jurisdiction, and then Freepmail me.
