That decision is a joke. By the way, what provision of the constitution says the Supreme Court is the final arbiter of what is constitutional? You can’t find it. Marshall’s opinion in Marbury is the greatest grab of power in our country’s history and it’s unfounded. Why do you think no constitutional provision was made to give the court power to enforce it’s decisions? What would your check and balance be on the Supreme Court? So your reply is wrong.

>>That decision is a joke. By the way, what provision of the constitution says the Supreme Court is the final arbiter of what is constitutional? <<

USCM Article III, §1

“the judicial power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.”

Pretty clear.

If that isn’t the case, then the SCOTUS has been operating without authority since day 1. In fact, your interpretation would mean there are only 2 branches of government: The Executive and the Legislative.
