While Quidnunc posted the article, he posted no comment, ergo, nothing to disagree with. While he did not state his view, I do not think that he agrees that the Supremes are the only and final arbiter of the constitution. If so, then I can also say that I still do not disagree with his unexpressed position.

Quidnunc rarely comments he/she has a long history of not having an opinion.

While he did not state his view, I do not think that he agrees that the Supremes are the only and final arbiter of the constitution.

It all goes back to the Jefferson Administration and Madison Vs Marbury decided in 1803.

The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court ruled that just because John Madison (the Madison in Madison Vs Marbury) wrote the Constitution didn't mean he knew what it meant.

Neither Madison (then Secretary of State) who wrote the constitution or Jefferson (then president) who wrote the declaration of independence disputed Chief Justice John Marshalls ruling that the SUPREME COURT WAS THE FINAL ABRITOR of what what the words in the Constitution mean.

If you had only been there to tell Madison, Jefferson, and Marshall they were all wrong, I'll bet things would have been a lot different.
