Great. So you have acknowledged no authority exists in the actual text of the Constitution.

Now go read Article III of the Constitution so you can understand the role of the Supreme Court and the federal judiciary.

Not only have I read Marbury v. Madison, but unlike you, I understand it. You cite a Supreme Court decision which declares the intent and purpose of the Constitution, but claim the Supreme Court doesn’t have the “supreme” authority to do so. Your position is illogical. Marbury is authoritative and dispositive for the very reason the decision was rendered by the Supreme Court pursuant to the authority set forth in the Constitution.

Now stop spouting ignorant positions unsupported by the Constitution.

Marbury makes it clear, repeatedly, that the Constitution is supreme. Guess you missed that part.

Now, where in the Constitution does it say that the courts are superior to the executive branch, or that the executive doesn't have a duty to interpret and enforce the Constitution as he has sworn to do?
