Harris obviously knows nothing about the Constitution and separation of powers.

Marbury v. Madison (1803)

Chief Justice Marshall delivered the opinion of the Court.

Thus, the particular phraseology of the constitution of the United States confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed to be essential to all written constitutions, that a law repugnant to the constitution is void; and that courts, as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument.

The rule must be discharged.
