You've misread the text. "But in a manner to be prescribed by law" is related only to "in time of war." So when the country is at war, homeowners can be required to quarter soldiers if the law says so. In a time of peace, no law can require homeowners to do so.– phoogCommented Dec 1, 2016 at 2:27

2The SCOTUS (or any federal court, for that matter) does not and cannot act in the absence of a legal dispute of some sort. No federal court is allowed to issue any sort of ruling or opinion outside of a lawsuit; in fact, doing so would itself be a violation of the Constitution. Someone adversely affected by an apparently unconstitutional law would need to file suit in a federal district court to get the judicial review process started.

In English, that word "but" has the meaning "except for..." or "other than...". That might help you.– StilezCommented Dec 8, 2016 at 4:16

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. united-states), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
