So then do we jail our Congess for (un)making laws?

I'm pretty sure it's not possible to find congress guilty of breaking the law by using the power vested in them by the Constitution. I think the closest you could come would be laws being ratified that the Supreme court then determined (from a case being brought) that infringed on constitutional rights, in which case that portion of the law is struck, but IANAL.

Although, maybe you were joking?

I might have used the incorrect sarcasm markup.
