It seems as though there was a question in the mind of Justice Chase as to the courts power to declare laws unconstitutional.
In this case they did not strike down the law so the question of the courts power to strike down a law as unconstitutional was still unresolved.
Is there any wonder why lawyers run the world?
Thanks for the post which, of course, does not address the issue of Court sovereignty which I see as basic to a constitution worthy of the name.
There has to be a Final Arbiter in a constitutional government.
