I'll take a stab at it, recalling small talk with my now deceased lawyer friend. Marbury is correct and stands without any asterisks. But BEFORE that; when congress passes the law, it's then put into practice until someone with standing,(standing requires being demonstrably harmed by the law) challenges it. if successful in appeal, then Marbury "nullifies" any previously taken actions per the law, and it's "un-done."
pretty good, Marbury would be the decision that established the principle of “judicial review” & with this authority the Supreme Court can determine whether laws or government actions are constitutional
It also gave all these smaller judges (Boasberg) carte blanche to block every little step a real reformer like Trump takes.
Andrew Jackson should have had John Marshall hanged when he had the chance.
a point for strong opinion, your thoughts on the Cherokee and Georgia?
my thoughts: a tragedy that the Cherokee were not respected, & eventually removed.
re: Justice Marshall & constitutionality of the national bank - James Madison also opposed the 1st bank in 1791 in Congress - important to oppose CoL / foreign influencer bankers
We conquered this land.
If the Cherokee want it, they can fight us for it.
Good luck.
Yep, just gotta have someone willing and able to take the unconstitutional law, break it, and work it all the way up to the Supreme Court
Cant just use this as an excuse to ignore unconstitutional laws as a layman - you'll still face whatever unconstitutional consequences there are for it
