Marbury v Madison is a seminal case from 1803 that holds that the federal courts must determine the constitutionality of the actions of the other two branches of government. Hope that helps, Stephen.

These next two months will be the calm before the devastating storm and no doubt filled with hand-wringing and finger-pointing as to who is responsible for the Trump redux.

I truly feel sorry for Americans. They’re going to face an assault on their everyday lives in multiple areas. Health is going to be top of the list if Trump follows through by putting this nut in charge. There have actually been *zero* cases of cervical cancer in those who’ve had the vaccine.
