Well I guess that depends on how you look at it. The SCOTUS seized the power of judicial review in Marbury v. Madison and Jefferson just went with it because he was between a rock and a hard place. According to the constitution they are not guaranteed that power...according to tradition they are. Basically, the answer is "yes" they do but not because they are constitutionally guaranteed such power. It's because Chief Justice John Marshall said so and no one bitched.
How does that mean they actually have that power? The constitution and the constitution ALONE lays out the powers of each branch. Nowhere in the document does it say any specific branch can grant itself a power.
And what do you mean by rock and a hard place? What stopped Jefferson from opposing?
Two people voted NO ?
This country's educational system is in sad shape.
They do if the laws are unconstitutional, imho.Does the court have the authority and power to strike down Federal laws passed by the Congress and signed by the President?

I'm not sure where in the enumerated powers the federal government has the right to force individuals to purchase a service as a condition of a good standing citizen. I would also like know if one person is granted a product for free and another is forced to purchase or face a federal penalty, then where is equal protection? And what is the origin of debt that requires one to buy others health care while others are forced to purchase.
This is the third time I have asked and no one has even attempted to answer these questions.
Does the court have the authority and power to strike down Federal laws passed by the Congress and signed by the President?
Sure they do. And it's a pretty big power.
The question becomes are they doing to sustain the integrity of the Republic by adhering to the Constitution..or are they doing because of cheap and trivial political gain based on party affiliation.
By the way..Congress has an awful lot of power too..as does the executive branch. So when you start the ball rolling on this shit..the risks are pretty high.

As I said in another thread, the purpose of the SCOTUS is not to rubber-stamp the President's agenda.Sure they do. And it's a pretty big power.

Hell yes they are! And it's high time for some-push back against the corporatist whores ruing out country.

So basically any decision YOU disagree with is political one. The fact is the mandate is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. And it is high time the court struck it down.

Take a deep breath. I know this is shocking to you.
Three people have now voted no.
It's a sad day in America...unless we have some foriegn nationals on the board.
