About the no fly lists, The US is known to bully and harass political activists (even pacifists) and reporters by putting them either on the no fly list (which has some tens of thousands of names) or simply on "the list" which is kept by TSA and is even bigger and even less openly talked about.

Now you're just splitting legal hairs.
If a law is struck down as unconstitutional in the supreme court, an average person would I think say that it was always unconstitutional. (Unless they changed the constitution after the law was created.)
I would agree with that "average persons" view.
In fact, one could easily challenge that something in the US system can not be said to be constitutional before that claim has been tested in court. But that's really semantics and not that interesting.
