Marbury v. Madison...totally flawed decision, which happened to open the pandoras box of judicial review carrying such weight. Read Madison and Hamilton’s view of the judiciary in the Federalist Papers. Their reach was to be limited. Marshall overstepped. Bad precedent.
By the way, I don’t think that the glory days of the Confederacy has anything to do with slavery. The Confederacy was standing up to the tyrannical Federal Govt. It was about the 10th Amendment. The United States was designed to be a loose confederation of states, not an overpowering Federal mother ship.
There may be a handful of sicko confederates out there not bothered by slavery, but I think most would oppose slavery.
“I don’t think that the glory days of the Confederacy has anything to do with slavery.”
The Confederacy was all about slavery.
