You can thank John Adams for today's excessive supreme court power. In a typical fit of liberal pique, after losing to Jefferson, packed the federal courts. One of these ideologically like-minded liberals was Marbury of" Marbury v. Madison" which anointed the supreme court to their present extra-constitutional perch.

5 of our first 7 presidents served two terms. The two that served only one term were liberals...and they were both named Adams.

Adams and Hamilton serve as evidence that big government liberals always were and always will be.

A total misunderstanding. First, John Marshall was the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court who wrote the majority opinion in Marbury vs. Madison. And he didn’t say what later judicial supremacists attribute to him.

He did not assert the supremacy of the Supreme Court. He asserted the supremacy of the Constitution, and pointed out that all three branches have the obligation to adhere to it.

I know that’s not what they teach today in the law schools, but I know how to read and have pretty decent reading comprehension skills, and can think for my myself.
