Judicial Review
Judicial Review is a controversial issue. Nowhere in the Constitution is the Supreme Court given the right to Judicial Review, and the fact that the Judicial branch has taken it makes that branch the most powerful because it can reject anything that the legislative brings its way. ... On the other hand, I do believe that the court does need the power of judicial review because without it, the legislative could pass any law it wanted without review leaving the people unprotected and making it superior. So the issue of Judicial Review is like a double-edged sword. ... Brutus, a strong antifederalist, predicted that the Supreme Court would eventually exercise the power of judicial review, even though the Constitution never specifically gave it that power. ... In summary, because of its power of judicial review, I criticized the Supreme Court as an undemocratic institution with no accountability to the people, upon whom the government was supposed to be based.
