It was Hamilton's interpretation of The Constitution. Without it there's no Constitutional Law. Would Federal courts then be just advisors? The Constitution limits the power of the Legislative and the Executive branches. It's up to the Judicial Branch to make sure they don't abuse their power. Leaving a legislature in charge of the Constittion is like leaving wolves in charge of the hen house. I'm surprised so many people want to throw out the baby with the bathwater. Justice Scalia sees no problems with JR.

Exactly... Lawyers and Judges except JR -- it's a doctrine to them..

Cept it was never given to them..

Judges and lawyers can't think outside of their legal box...

"Justice Scalia sees no problems with JR."

You are absolutely correct in your opinion...and so is Scalia.

There have been no Constitutional or other governmental challenges to Judicial Review (Marbury)...For the practical application, just look at the Constitutional crisis we would have been in if Bush's first election didn't have the SC having some ending and final interpretation.
