Didn't the supreme court already rule that you can't detain american citizens without cause and all that? So even if this law did have "hey guys we're going to criminally imprison you with the military and also you can't have abortions anymore and black people need to go into separate schools now" it wouldn't mean anything because supreme court trumps all

It's up to lower courts to interpret and apply what the Supreme Court says. With something like this, it could very well take years before it gets back up to the Supreme Court and they strike it down. There are many many procedural hurdles.
