    Post On this date in legal history: federal judicial supremacy over States declared.

    On this date in legal history: John Marshall declared federal judicial supremacy over states. On February 20, 1809, US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall ruled in United States v. Peters that the legal power of the federal judiciary is greater than that of any individual state: "If the legislatures of the several states may, at will, annul the judgments of the courts of the United States, and destroy rights acquired under those judgments, the constitution itself becomes a solemn mockery; and the nation is deprived of the means of enforcing its laws by the instrumentality of its own tribunals."

    Jefferson and the Congress should have told that they had no such power.
    Liberals are a clear and present danger to our nation

    Of course SCOTUS gets to rule on federal constitutional issues. And we know that SCOTUS has no jurisdiction on legal matters that are wholly state issues (other than controversies between states).
