Laws are valid until challenged for unconstitutionality. Then the court decides. They are assumed to be constitutional until then.
The constitution of the Republic of Ireland has an interesting provision, a marked improvement over the American constitution. A proposed law can be sent to the Irish SC prior to enactment to test whether it would be constitutional. This avoids a problem of the American system, where a test case must wait until a victim who can afford to bring suit is found.

The conservatives here would no doubt call that "the court making the laws", or some such bull.

I agree, it seems like a time-saver.

Stupid white men, vigilantes:

This is not how to run a country.
Actually, these men are so stupid that they give vigilantism a bad name. I mean, if you're going to act outside the law, you could at least get it right.

It saves not only time, it saves a victim, too.

Yeah, this is nothing like someone taking down a maniac shooter before the police show up. Kidnapping and mock trials for treason is mob rule, one half-step away from lynching. Anarchy is just what Trump says is going on, except that he's wrong about which side of the spectrum is doing it.

Anarchists march to the beat of a different drummer. They are not alt-right

The fascists are alt right. Same as the Spanish Civil War.

Correct, not all domestic extremists are on the right wing. Trump, however, thinks so and has publicly stated that violent extremism is a left-wing problem.

Here's the list:

Pretty interesting and controversial writeup on militias.
The Michigan Militia claimed that Whitmer was outside the limits of the constitution.
However, they should have waited to see if the courts ruled in agreement. Their bad.

Now let's flip it. Suppose Trump does something that is clearly unconstitutional and
violence broke out. Surely libs and some dems would say it is justified.

Does that bring it all into perspective? Ya, what foot is the shoe on.

These guys are not anarchists. They support Trump. Just like you.

Trump did something highly questionable and probably illegal. The Dems impeached him, by legal means. They didn't threaten to kidnap him.

EDIT;

The Department of Homeland Security warned this week in an annual report that violent white supremacy was the "most persistent and lethal threat in the homeland".

If America does not get paramilitaries under control fast, it will find itself on a fast track to the Shankhill Road. Don’t go there.
