I agree. However it is worth remembering that some laws Congress make are a unconstitutional. It is also worth remembering that sometimes the way laws get enforced are unconstitutional.
Legislatures on both sides of the aisle have made unconstitutional laws. Presidents on both sides of the aisle have enforced laws unconstitutionally.
Because you appear to lean strongly on the right side of the aisle I will give a few examples that might be more relatable to you.
1994 "assault weapon" restrictions.
Most of the Gun Control Act.
ATF attacking FRT triggers.
ATF attempting to classify certain pistols has "short barrel rifles.".
The attempts to ban modern sporting rifles.
The Obama administration weaponizing the IRS against political opponents.
The federal government's attack on the Weaver family.
Several (not all) undeclared wars were from Democrat presidents.
Note: The listing of examples from the "left" are not meant to dismiss or compare to those on the "right".
