If the power of judicial review were given to the people, what good would the constitution be? The constitution was written to protect the nation from the idiots that sit in Congress. Although some Supreme Court Justices "legislate from the bench," their actual job is to apply the Constitution as it was written, not as the people feel it should be now. The Constitution was written to impede change.

Nowhere does the Constitution say which Branch has judicial review of the Constitution. It does, however, enumerate only the powers that gov't may have. The power of judicial review was stolen from The People by this court; in effect making SCOTUS a dispicable tyrant that rules from the Bench On High. Great work if you can get it, and let's see...who's eligible? That's right: Lawyers. Lawyers produce NOTHING! Who regulates lawyers? The ABA: MORE lawyers. No wonder Congress is screwed

The ability to explain such a complex subject in a visual and detailed manner such as this is one of great manner. It not only presents a visual reinactment of the event, but also a different teaching tool to be used for students such as myself. I encourage the makers of this video to continue to use their gift. I thank the Lord for your wonderful gift, and pray for its continued helpfulness. Thank you once more and God bless :)

No, the Judiciary Act of 1789 which gave the power to the courts to hear a case on and issue such a commision flys in the face of article 3 section 2 of the constitution as the Supreme court only has original jurisdiction over cases involving embassadors and what not. Therefore, because the Judiciary Act is at odds with the language of the constitution, Marshall was right to stike the act as UNCONSTITUTIONAL

I think the justices should have got their commissions

This is an incredible dramaization, though I'm not sure of the hairstyles being entirely accurate, at least from what I've seen from portraits. Oh, well:) Fantastic anyway:) Thanks for posting!
