In
Marbury v. Madison (1803) the Supreme Court announced for the first time the principle that a court may declare an act of Congress void if it is inconsistent with the Constitution.
(So if even congress can be overruled on unconstitutional laws ...?)
Yeah, there are people, even on here that will argue the Emergency Powers Act, which a rouge court ruled constitutional.
I and all Americans should simply ignore the ruling because .. Not even the so called Supreme Court should be allowed to trample the constitution!
No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States.
"All laws that are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void."
Marbury v. Madison
The second diagram has even more problems than the first.
It would be total chaos as all those bodies would be stepping all over each other’s turf claiming it’s theirs. I could see each body setting up their own militias to defend their turf and their interpretation of the constitution.
It’d be like four hyenas fighting over a carcass.
No, there need to be a body that is the final arbiter of the constitution. What that is I don’t know. Any ideas?
