You realize that several courts have disagreed with your blanket finding of "obviously unconstitutional"?

And the legal issue there is mostly whether the law actually authorizes the NSA to do what they do, not Constitutional issues (with exception).

Which specific practices have courts not found to be constitutional, yet wasn't stopped because of "jurisdiction and standing"?

Do you think that a program like BULLRUN, where the government secretly modifies systems belonging to US and other entities is constitutional?

The answer is almost certainly "no". But good luck litigating it.

That's got nothing to do with jurisdiction and standing, and everything to do with the people in charge denying that it takes place.

Could you link to which specific leaked info says that they secretly modified US systems?

How would a court looking at more laws have stopped whatever happened?
