Could you briefly outline these 'other ways'?

Well, I provided two other ways that the Supreme Court could have approached Marbury in post 247. In another post, I linked you to a page full of Jefferson's views on the matter.

How could our individual rights be protected against legislative infringments if we had no USSC legal appeal?

The President's veto power. Elections. ;-)

Both if which I rebuted at 248, and you dropped.

Out of context 'views' are not definitive.

Both of which currently 'work', to a very poor degree.
Sorry kid, I'll still stick with advocating that we obey our constitution as written. We continue to need nine old farts to occasionally strike down the more outrageous infringements on our personal liberties.
