"Do you ever have one of those days when everything seems unconstitutional?"

This cartoon shows three of the nine justices on the US Supreme Court sitting and talking amongst themselves. The cartoonist believes that the US Supreme Court does not do much and that the name, "US Supreme Court" is used as a title for a group that does nothing. The cartoonist is portraying the court in a negative way because he feels as though they don't do much for the country since they have such limited judicial power. He uses the quote for this specific cartoon to portray the mistakes or bad decisions made by the Supreme Court, hence the "one of those days when everything seems unconstitutional."
