I don't know if the Supreme Court has ever heard a case about these laws or not, but either way, it is blatantly unconstitutional--and dare I say unpatriotic--to deny American citizens and companies the right to boycott foreign governments. It's a blatant violation of the 1st Amendment. Any politician who writes or votes for laws like this should be stripped of their position. It's abhorrent that an American politician would support a foreign government so strongly as to give the 1st Amendment the middle finger.

No form of criticism should be forbidden. I don't at all agree with racist, isolationist, or xenophobic policies, but if politicians make laws denying citizens basic rights like freedom of speech on behalf of a foreign government, what else are they doing for them that we don't know about? It's disturbing to think about.
