-- The court was wrong to presume upon itself the power to declare an act of Congress to be "unconstitutional. --

If I get your drift, the court should have found congressional act superior to the constitution.

No matter which way we go, there is a possibility of mischief.

There is something to be said for driving that tipping point back to the people before it gets too big.

The thing is, the Congressional Act could have been repealed by the people’s representatives in Congress. Congressmen are answering to the voters

Once a court has interceded however, the resulting harm is very difficult to undo. SCOTUS believes they are answerable to no one.
