Marbury v Madison was a great court case which instantly transformed this nation's understanding of what the Supreme Court would be.But it didn't do that. That's a later interpretation .

I am so tired of this attempt to argue that the supreme Court does not have a legitimate power of constitutional review. That is a power express in the Constitution and one that was intended so says Alexander Hamilton in Federalist #78.

Folks who don't like activist judges need to get over it. The disease is not the Supreme Court but in the political branches that fail to nominate and confirm judges who will adhere to the laws.

Judicial activists and judicial review aren’t the same thing.
