[QUOTE]Originally posted by irishchieftain: [QB] If not for Marbury, what would the alternate method for deeming certain laws to have violated the Constitution be? Also, I see no connection between Marbury and judicial activism, to wit legislating from the bench; arguably, judicial activism led to the Civil War. Where do state supreme courts get their authority (if so) for judicial review from, in addition? This also begs the question as to the constitutionality of recent developments such as early voting and the security of mail-in voting against things such as vote-buying. Who gets to review such things, and prosecute if malfeasance happens? Jefferson saw plenty of flaws of course in the fact that the federal SCOTUS had provided for justices with lifetime appointments, deeming that it made “the Constitution … a mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary, which they may twist and shape into whatever form they please” and also that “whatever power in any government is independent is absolute also”. The implication is that while checks and balances are established between legislature and executive, those between each and both of those branches and the judiciary are merely implied. [/QB][/QUOTE]
