One question may surprise you con-
corning Supreme court decisions set
ting aside laws passed by the congress
and signed by the President, on the
ground that congress, In passing the
law, had exceeded It's constitutional
authority. This is the question: Are
those Supreme court decisions In them
selves unconstitutional?
When the Supreme court, sometimes
by narrow margin OF five to four.
declares law unconstitutional and
void. Is It exceeding Its constitutional
authority
Where In the Constitution OF the
United States do you find authority for
the Supreme court power to override
congress and the President In the max
Ing of laws? This absence Of authority
Is no accident Those that wrote the
Constitution, after long arguing, dis
putting and many concessions, knew,
presumably. what they wanted the Con-
stituton to say And they did not
want 1t to give the Supreme court the
power to veto laws, that 1t now as
sumes and exercises.
