Quote by: Chancellor There is nothing in the text of Article III of the Constitution (the part that talks about the judicial branch, including the SCOTUS) that gives the Courts the authority to "interpret" the Constitution. In other words (by way of example), the Courts do not have a right to extend, say, the Amendment prohibiting unreasonable search and seizure to mean "a right to privacy." | Chancellor, you really should try to learn more about what you are talking about. This is what the constitution has to say about the Supremes: Quote:
Section 2 - Trial by Jury, Original Jurisdiction, Jury Trials (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.) (This section in parentheses is modified by Amendment XI.)
| It doesn't say "some Cases", it says "all Cases".
