Constitutional Law The federal judicial power: The authority for judicial review: Marbury v. Madison: o Key holdings: It is the power of the judiciary to officially say what the law is • Judicial review: The court has the power to review legislative acts of congress and ministerial acts of the executive Congress can’t expand the original jurisdiction of constitutional courts beyond the limits set forth in Article III The Constitution is the supreme regulatory law via Article VI Section 2 Martin v. Hunter’s lessee: o SC can review as an appellate court state court decisions for civil cases Cohen o SC can review as an appellate court state court decisions for criminal cases Limits on the federal judicial power: Interpretive limits: o Judicial restraint: the court should exercise restraint in its interpretive process because the judiciary is the least democratic branch of government. Court should defer to congress on empirical matters. o Originalism: Look at actual specific intent of framers Scalia view: look at general intent of framers and text and circumstances of the time what the average American knew at the time is important Problems: who really knows what framers intended? Originalists assume a unified singular intention that may never have existed. o Non-originalism: See the constitution as a living breathing document that evolves with time
