I've been talking to some people on fb and someone mentioned Marbury v. Madison. I know nothing about it. But, what I'm hearing is this. Marbury v. Madison was a huge fight where the concept of judicial review was established for the first time. Jefferson and Madison were apoplectic at the thought that the Supreme Court could be able to strike down laws as unconstitutional.
So is this what Obama is going to try to use? It doesn't make sense to me. If the Supremes can't strike down an unconstitutional law, what good are they? They can't keep a run away congress, President in check. Doesn't make sense to me.
If someone explains this, please be gentle, I am a lay person. ;)
And yet, they want to disarm our missiles, nukes ect. so we can become equal to the rest of the world. And disarm law abiding citizens. Yet Homeland Security has the need for 450 million rounds of ammo???? That’s more than one bullet for every man, woman and child in America.
