We need to pass a law declaring that Congress has the final word on constitutional interpretation and that federal courts do not have the power to pronounce on the validity of any federal law. That would be one way to override Marbury and eliminate the unwarranted power grab of the courts. Congress could do this since the Constitution is silent on the question of judicial review by the courts. If we want to remain a free country with a responsible judiciary bound by the rule of law, judicial review must be abolished.

That's circular as can be.

See #31. What do you think the phrase, "all cases of law and equity arising under this Constitution" means? Hmmmm?
