Judicial Review seems spelled out by Hamilton in Fedaralist Paper #78. What else would 'all Judicial Power' in the USC mean? Without it Congress could pass a law tomorrow cancelling all future elections and the citizenry would have no legal remedy.

You seem to forget that the SC can do the same thing. What's to stop 5 of 9 legal elites from passing a law canceling elections?

Putting that kind of power in the hands of unelected elites is madness.

Someone would have to bring a lawsuit. What would that lawsuit be? That elections are unconstitutional? Please. A court can only rule for this side or the other. A legislature can pass any law they fancy and we have to have a judicial body monitoring them.
