A USSC decision is NEVER "null and void" until another USSC decision says so. What IS "null and void" is your opinion of a Court decision.






--Read the below, and weep for your obstinate ignorance:

"Thus, the particular phraseology of the constitution of the United States confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed to be essential to all written constitutions, that a law repugnant to the constitution is void; and that courts, as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument.
The rule must be discharged."

And it is ONLY the USSC which can make that decision just as it did in this case. Marshall was the Chief Justice of the USSC not some clown wandering down the street.
