Hmmm, that's not true.  The procedural due process idea goes that, if
you are charged with violating an unconstitutional law, you will get
your day in court and it thereupon will be revealed that the law is
unconstitutional.

This is why a lot of people think that procedural due process isn't
the be-all and end-all: but it's pretty much all courts are worried
about if you inquire whether the legal process is being followed
properly or not.
