Good luck with that. Many (perhaps a significant majority) believe that Marbury vs Madison was a positive ruling as it (in there mind) established 3 co-equal branches of government.

220 years of solidifying a societal belief will not be overcome easily.

Judicial review creates anything but 3 co-equal branches of government and I will give you a very simple proof.

The last presidential election one of Trumps most common campaign promises was his assurance that he would appoint conservative, original intent judges to the supreme court. Trump ran his campaign knowing the voters are very concerned with the actions of the USSC.

The supreme court has become the most powerful branch of government.

Through their choice of court cases to hear the USSC directs the evolution of our society.

If there are three co-equal branches of government how is it that one branch overrules two branches and a majority of the states?

A district judge in San Francisco just ruled that the President of the United States can not protect the borders of the United States. How is that possible with three co-equal branches of government?
