I don't know if this is constitutional, all i could find was "[Congress shall have the power ] To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high seas; and Offenses against the Law of Nations". I don't think we could have gone after a boat with a cannon on it (we had cannons) so why a laser in space someone has if we have one? And if anything we would be committing an offense against the law of nations, so i don't think its constitutional.
