You are out of time, I mean that view your are holding had its fifty-or-so-year run. A bad run, at that, some good needed gold and diamonds in the van but mostly a truck full of slask. (To use a swedish word.) It wasn't held prior and it shan't be held anymore. The Supreme Court has made too much a fool of itself to maintain that concept of final absolute authority. (A concept founded in sloth and hubris, both.) Read this:
... the famous Supreme Court decision Marbury v. Madison had in the past been interpreted as an absolutist claim that the Supreme Court is the final arbitrator of the Constitution. Modern scholarship recognizes that the famous decision merely argues that the Supreme Court’s duty to interpret the Constitution was the same as that of the Congress and the President. Far from demanding judicial supremacy, Chief Justice Marshall had asserted for the judiciary the same interpretative role of the popular will that the legislative and executive branches perform.And not just "modern scholarship", but such was the case prior to the wool of sloth being pulled over the nation's legal eyes, back before the twenties.(Source: Cornell Review, "Balance of Law Upset", http://www.cornellreview.org/viewart.cgi?num=265)
