Their job until Marbury was running around the countryside hearing appeals and resolving fights between states, but then they all decided they had this power to declare whatever they want illegal even though it isn't written anywhere that they can do that and everyone just went along with it and now its normal. Isn't that a bit strange?

Edit: not sure where that "every" came from but ignore it

What would actually happen if both chambers and the president said "lol get fukt" to the SCOTUS?

I hate that homophobic Orson Scott Card wrote my favorite fiction while growing up, but it did introduce me to this concept early: "the power to cause pain is the only power that matters, the power to kill and destroy, because if you can't kill then you are always subject to those who can, and nothing and no one will ever save you."

Or, the more laconic version: “power grows from the barrel of a gun”.
