Message: [QUOTE="willtalk, post: 3020456, member: 1220"] That is not actually true. That perspective comes from ignoring the Justices reasons for their non ruling in Marbury v Madison. While it is used as setting the precedent for judicial review, the actual ruling in that case is completely ignored. While finding the Marbury had been wronged they could not make a ruling in this case because they had not been given specific jurisdiction. So just because a court finds an injustice does not necessarily mean they have the power to correct it. The power for courts to automatically correct injustice via rulings does not exist unless they are specifically given the power to do so by law. They have given that power to themselves via broad interpretation. [/QUOTE]
