Legally, yes. Unfortunately. If nothing else, it is something done in their own power, and no governmental institutions can be accused of breaking the 7th amendment over it.
There are current and forming solutions to this, but the US has always had a fickle relationship with actually voting in welfare options when push comes to shove.
