Since Mr. Madison served as a President is he not deserving of the title "President"?

Nice attempt at covering up your ineptness, but since you thought Madison made the appointment and since you thought Madison might have been censured for ignoring it then that makes it pretty clear that you hadn't a clue about the case to begin with. But keep up the good work; no doubt you'll successfully snow your Lost Cause buddies.

Was ANYONE ever punished in any fashion for ignoring the opinion of the supreme court in Marbury vs Madison?

(*sigh*) No. But rather than digging yourself in deeper and parading your ignorance with every post, why not please, please read the decision and then you can tell us all exactly why nobody was punished?

I am at least as familiar with the case as you are and am well aware the the Judiciary act of 1789 was held to be unconstitutional in the opinion of the court!!

I assume that is what your are referring to but my question is and always has been from where did Justice Marshal and the court derive the power to to do that? It sure as heck isn't contained in the plain language of the Constitution!
