Judicial review vs Judicial supremacy


If you don't understand the difference between judicial review and judicial supremacy you need to watch this 40 minutes over and over again until you do!

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
- J. R. R. Tolkien

Great post @Bigun.

The dispositive issue in Constitutional law has always been one of text vs. precedent, and of the equal powers of each governmental branch to act in accordance with the authority granted to them through the Constitution and always and finally, by the people. 

I do not believe that our Founders, even the Federalists such as Alexander Hamilton intended the Supreme Court to be a final and decisive arbiter of the meaning and extent of the powers granted to each. The end result of such a system of government was not intended to be discord or chaos, as is often advanced as justification by the proponents of Judicial supremacy, but instead of a continuous search for truth prescribed by Constitutionally-limited and defined powers of representative government, and as a natural consequence, a nation characterized by maximum human liberty consistent with an orderly society.

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn
