Dude...be a big enough man to admit when you're wrong. Everything I posted there - directly from the U.S. Constitution - makes it exceedingly clear that the Supreme Court was explicitly created to review challenged law. Congress makes law. You look silly right now denying something so crystal clear. Let's review again:The Constitution does not make it clear that the Supreme Court has the power of Judicial Review which is why the Marshall Court had to have a trial in which the Court could declare that it has the power. Your quote on Article 3 says nothing about judicial review.What a bizarre twist on reality. Marbury vs. Madison is 100% in line with the U.S. Constitution. I'm going to repeat what was posted above since you seem confused...So where is it written that the Supreme Court will review laws and acts and decide their Constitutionality?ARTICLE III
Section 1. The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good behavior, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.
Section 2. The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;—to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls;—to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction;—to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party;—to Controversies between two or more States;—between a State and Citizens of another State;—between Citizens of different States; —between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects.”

You might check out Marbury v Madison, when the Court took the power unto themselves. I think every high school kid is supposed to learn this.

Does Congress not make laws? Does the Constitution not make it clear that judicial power exists to all cases, in law and equity, the laws of the United States?!? What part are you confused by here. You're trying to proclaim that something which reaffirms my position somehow proves your position. Bizarre.
The framers may have intended Judicial Review or may not have, in any case the Constitution does not give the Court that power.
