Let me repeat them for you:

Did Mr. Marbury ever get the commission he was seeking from president Madison in this case? (Marbury vs Madison)

If not, what happened to president Madison for ignoring that ruling? Was he censured in any manner?

Ya know what? Screw it! I had been trying to avoid making you look any more inept than you manage to make yourself out to be but what the hell? Why not? If you're hell-bent on making a fool out of yourself then who am I to deny you your opportunity? I will answer your two questions.

Question 1: Did Mr. Marbury ever get the commission he was seeking from president Madison in this case? (Marbury vs Madison). Answer: No. Marbury had been appointed to the JP post by President Adams in 1801. Madison was Secretary of State at the time the suit was filed in December 1801.

Question 2: If not, what happened to president Madison for ignoring that ruling? Was he censured in any manner? Answer: Nothing. Marbury v Madison was handed down by the court in February 1803. Madison did not become president until March, 1809; more than 6 years later.

Now it's your turn. Do you need me to refresh your memory or can you go back and look them up on your own.

Please! Spare me your fallacious concerns as to to how YOU may think I may appear to others.

Thank your for FINALLY answering the questions I posed!

Now I will answer yours!

The Air Force WAS a part of the army and could easily be so again.

NASA grew out of the Navy's Vanguard project in the 1950's and could easily be put back under that authority.

The question is a nullity!

I will however go further and say that YES! I think that about two thirds of what the federal government currently does is PATENTLY unconstitutional!

Now! Getting back to Marbury vs Madison! The fact is that there is not one single word in Article III Section 2 of the Constitution, or anywhere else in that document for that matter, to support your claim that:

They are constitutional or unconstitutional based on what the Supreme Court said.
