All the more reason to abolish judicial review. In passing the Framers never intended to give the courts the power to pronounce on the validity of the laws. The Supreme Court did that in Marbury and created an entirely new, unchecked power out of whole cloth. No less a figure than President Thomas Jefferson feared the consequences of an imperial judicial magistracy. Which is more or less what we now have in this country. The only way to restore the separation of powers is to take away the power from judges to write their own laws, make policy, and order the elected branches of government around. Otherwise we will end up living in a country the Framers of our Constitution would not recognize if they were alive today. Absolute power corrupts and corrupts absolutely as much in the hands of a judge as in the hands of a politician. That is why is time to get rid of judicial review.

In this case, abolishing judicial review would have only allowed the elected city council in New London, your town and my town, steal the property more quickly.

In this case, the fact that judges got to review the case wasn't the problem -- the problem is that they blatantly failed to follow the Constitution.
