The men who founded our Republic never intended for the judicial branch to have any control over the delegated powers of either of the other 2 branches.
“You seem ... to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy... The Constitution has erected no such single tribunal.” ~ Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President
“[N]othing in the Constitution has given [the judiciary] a right to decide for the Executive, more than to the executive to decide for them. Both magistracies are equally independent in the sphere of action assigned to them… the opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional, and what are not, not only for themselves in their own sphere of action, but for the Legislature & Executive also, in their spheres, would make the judiciary a despotic branch.” ~ Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President Letter to Mrs. John Adams, September, 1804
“The province of the Court is solely to decide on the rights of individuals... . Questions, in their nature political or which are, by the Constitution and laws, submitted to the Executive, can never be made in this court.” ~ John Marshall (1755-1835) US Supreme Court Chief Justice Marbury v. Madison, February 23, 1803
“Constitutions are violated, and it would be absurd to expect the federal government to enforce the Constitution against itself. If the very federal judges the Constitution was partly intended to restrain were the ones exclusively charged with enforcing it, then “America possesses only the effigy of a Constitution.” The states, the very constituents of the Union, had to do the enforcing.” ~ John Taylor (1753-1824) usually called John Taylor of Caroline, served in the Virginia House of Delegates, US Senator, writer, political pamphleteer c. 1790
“If it be asked, What is the most sacred duty and the greatest source of our security in a Republic? The answer would be, An inviolable respect for the Constitution and Laws.” ~ Alexander Hamilton (1757-1804) American statesman, Secretary of the Treasury Essay in the American Daily Advertiser, August 28, 1794
The court wasnt judge over the lawmakers. To ensure theblaws were constitutional. The voter is also the jurer and nullification is a thing. We the people are supposed to have the final say. Remember, the constitution is how we control the three branches. Not them controlling us.
