Sez you.
Nope, sez the Supreme Law of the Land. The Constitution. You can also check the writings of the Founders, many of which are found in both the Federalist and the anti-Federalist papers. Onn this point there was absolutely no disagreement between the founders.
In addition, SCOTUS has absolutely no enforcement authority, as the court of the Dred Scott days found out.
In another point, there is no authority granted for the court to "review" any law for its Constitutionality. By default, at times it does, but there must be injury of some type before the court can even hear a case.

Yes, let's peruse the Federalist Papers about judicial review, shall we?
Hmmmm, where should we start?...
Well, since you brought this up and said that there's "absolutely no disagreement between the Founders", I'll let you go ahead.
I'll just be content to note that the Founders were sitting on the Supreme Court in 1802 that decided Marbury v. Madison.
