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!

Just part of it. You should have read the entire Wiki article before responding.

Nor is the power to establish an air force or any denial of the power to expel a state. But I expect you'll continue to avoid that.
