Thanks for the link. So, Marbury was
decided in 1803 and, thus,
added weight to the (by then already
old) concept of 'judicial review'
where a court can declare a law
unconstitutional.
While IANAL (although my brother
got his Ph.D. in con-law),
I would guess that by now just how
the SCOTUS could strike down a
law is well established. History
aside, apparently the situation
now is that the SCOTUS can
strike down a law as unconstitutional
and the rest of government and the
citizens will accept that decision.
