That wasn't the holding in Marbury, and even if it was, it's a circular argument. SCOTUS is the final arbiter of the meaning of the Constitution, because it says it is? Since when is that a valid form of logic?

"That wasn't the holding in Marbury,"

Of course not. It was the result of the holding, and established the doctrine of judicial review.

"Since when is that a valid form of logic?"

Well, it sure beats the prior "logic" of Congress deciding what's constitutional. Or do you prefer that?
