They were all the law until they were overturned, but you're ignoring what I said at the end: The New Deal has been an incredible force for good in our country, not some slide into fascism. The SCOTUS has made mistakes in the past, but so far we've seen an unbelievable reduction in things like elderly illness and poverty. Things may not be perfect, but can you imagine the US without programs like Social Security and Medicare? Our country would be damned without them, to use your hyperbolic language.
