Marbury v. Madison - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Marbury v. Madison
Supreme Court of the United States
Argued February 11, 1803
Decided February 24, 1803
Full case name William Marbury v. James Madison, Secretary of State of the United States


Section 13 of the Judiciary Act of 1789 is unconstitutional to the extent it purports to enlarge the original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court beyond that permitted by the Constitution. Congress cannot pass laws that are contrary to the Constitution, and it is the role of the Federal courts to interpret what the Constitution permits.
Court membership


Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. (1 Cranch) 137 (1803) is a landmark case in United States law. It formed the basis for the exercise of judicial review in the United States under Article III of the Constitution.

This case resulted from a petition to the Supreme Court by William Marbury, who had been appointed by President John Adams as Justice of the Peace in the District of Columbia but whose commission was not subsequently delivered. Marbury petitioned the Supreme Court to force Secretary of State James Madison to deliver the documents, but the court, with John Marshall as Chief Justice, denied Marbury's petition, holding that the part of the statute upon which he based his claim, the Judiciary Act of 1789, was unconstitutional.

Marbury v. Madison was the first time the Supreme Court declared something "unconstitutional", and established the concept of judicial review in the U.S. (the idea that courts may oversee and nullify the actions of another branch of government). The landmark decision helped define the "checks and balances" of the American form of government.

Yurt is unable to keep his lies straight, TM.

That is interesting: An established compulsive liar lying about a non liar lying while talking to another established compulsive liar.

Yurt, when a lying sack of crap like Jokey calls you a liar, it's like getting a merit badge for honesty.

Nice.
 
Yurt is unable to keep his lies straight, TM.

He has proven to me he is a liar.

he has lied about what I have said before.

I really wish people would use truth hense my name here.

they like to pretend I lie but can never produce one single lie I have told.

They even treat me like shit for admitting mistakes when I see them.

Bad info in = bad info out whcih is why they cheered Bush why he distroyed everything he could before leaving office.

Stop lying for Pete's sake.

You truly are compulsive.
 
Why did you feel it nessesary to tell me there were three branches after telling me I was wrong about everything?

See you refuse to anser my posts that try to further the real discussion and keep pretending you didnt lie about what I said.

Why do you hate teh system our founders left us?

Lets see if I can get this to work
Heres the repoly in question
Wrong on all accounts short cake their are THREE bodies in the govenment and once again
Since everybody likes to bring up the subject of slavery, I will ask you this. Was the supreme court the one that ruled slavery unconstitutional, or was it Congress? The change did not come through the courts but through cngress.

Wrong on all accounts as in your claim that I hate the way the founders designed the supreme court. They did not design it the way you are pushing it. Its been a slow change by liberal actiivst judges that makes you think its the way the founders made it. I hate what the liberal activst judges have tried to change it into. Maybe you are the one that hates the way the founds created the supreme court.
Now you insist that I answer your question but short cake I asked you first.

And wrong about the branches of the government there are three that are to work together makeing sure neither one is doing anything unConstitutional.
Answer my questiion to you.

Listen urinal cake, I gave you the history of the scotus and John adams was a founder right?

You see he appointed the scotus member who headed the court in 1802 when they decided this issue.

Do you know what it meant?

Judges are not susposed to legislate from the bench, but you are trying to say they can. they can only say isf a law is constitutional or not. Now never eb]ver forget thet there are three branchs in the government that work together to make sure that neither over step their authority. Which in my opinion the bench has come real close a few times. Now I guess obama feels the heed to one up them.
You still haven't address this.

you are stating gerneralities and giving no real cases to examine.

Now do you accept the scotus has the right to decide what laws comport with the constitution?

You lack the mental ability to make such judgments, you retarded lying twit.

Tell us again, shithead, how federal judges make decisions to get more votes. :cuckoo::cuckoo::cuckoo::cuckoo::cuckoo:

You are beyond pathetic, you dishonest little shit.
 
Liability is a puke who can't write well, who does not understand discourse, who merely pontificates poorly and verbosely. I sometimes think he must be the virtual love spawn of Lynne Cheney: they share the same disgusting traits ~ an inability to recognize and cherish truth, a viciousness for those who are trying to improve America.

Dude why do you keep pushing this like it has bearing on the issue.

Yes congress ccan amend the constitution with a high majority vote.

tha has no bearing on the job the scotus is charged with.
 
This is a red herring, bigreb. Look it up if you don't understand. SCOTUS does not matter in this case, because the 13th Amendment was a congressional matter. If SCOTUS had ruled on the matter, it would have ruled that congress had acted within the Constitution.

Jokey is lying again (it's all he can do) because he has nothing of any value to say if forced to be honest.

EVERYONE (except for fellow ass-lickers like Truthdoesn'tmattertoheratall) sees Jokey for the useless pin dick he is.

Jokey can't even be honest about himself.

He is absolutely useless and everyone with a brain sees him for the pathetic shit he is.

Too bad Jokey. You will never have any cred. You blew it. But it's casual. Nobody really expected any from you, anyway.
 
great insites and fact presentation liability.

No it's not that congress can do it, you are making it sound as if it can be done other ways.. Through Congress is the only way the Constitution can be amended.

:lol::lol:

Your insights and presentation of facts are legendary, of course, Truthdoesn'tmattertoyouatall.

How many votes do most Federal Jurists need to secure their elections, moron?

:lol::lol::lol:

It's really quite funny to see YOU of all people talking about "facts."

what exactly is the point you're trying to make with this?

jake has proved he can't debate, can't abide by his own debate rules, he has proven he is a liar....

watch though...as soon as he thinks he has you in a gotcha moment where you can't back something up, he will hound you and cry foul if you don't back it up to his liking....notwithstanding he will not do so himself....

he is a two bit hack
