Well, indeed, one of the purposes of appeals courts is for remedying the 
creation of bad laws.

However their existence is not usually offered as justification for creating 
laws that violate civil rights.

The requirement for balancing capabilities against civil rights issues is an 
affirmative responsibility of the process for /creating/ laws.

Your language ignores that requirement.

ps.  Bsides being out of scope for this list, this exchange hasn't been an 
engaged process of collaborative exchange to explore concerns. So I'll bow out.
