Are you saying that the Supreme Court has the power to judge the laws, but not how the law was "passed", even if the passage mechanism may not itself have been implemented in a constitutional way?

they rule on the content of a law when they rule it unconstitutional.
they would be ruling on the process the legislative branch used (not the content of the law itself) if they did what you suggest.
so yes, i'm saying the judicial branch of government has no say in how the legislative decides to do it's buisness.
if a majority of the house makes a rule, it takes a majority of the house (not the supreme court) to change that rule.
what you're suggesting (the judicial branch deciding how the legislative should operate) is what's actually unconstitional.
