Determination of constitutionality is by the Supreme Court. Challenges to law can be heard in subordinate courts which can find against the law but until the USSC has ruled all such rulings are not truly final.

Jackson certainly did say that and since it came at a time that the court was weak as the quote mentioned nothing was done to uphold the Court which was a failure to abide by the law on Jackson's part. Montana is not going to get away with such things though and Bush will not let it.

Nope pure Constitutionalism which is the furtherest thing from socialism though you probably have as limited an understanding as to what the latter is as the former.

USSC is the final arbiter of whether a law is "pursuant to" not a state legislature.

Montana still has the RTKABA. Nothing took it away.
