Recent behaviors of judges and SCOTUS justices have highlighted a profoundly stupid credence given by many (most?) to the idea of judicial supremacy, especially the supremacy of the SCOTUS in deciding what is/is not constitutional.
The Founders saw such a view as repugnant and dangerous, and the Constitution in no way, shape, fashion, or form bestows such a power upon the courts, including the SCOTUS. Jefferson, for example, variously wrote such comments as,
“You seem … to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions: a very dangerous doctrine indeed and one which would place us under the despotism of an Oligarchy.”
And,
“Certainly there is not a word in the constitution which has given that power to them [SCOTUS] more than to the Executive or Legislative branches.”
