  13. 3/36 Background

  14. 3/26 Background • These scholars point to statements about judicial review made in the Constitutional Convention and the state ratifying conventions, statements about judicial review in publications debating ratification, and court cases before Marbury that involved judicial review.[13] • At the Constitutional Convention in 1787, there were a number of references to judicial review. Fifteen delegates made statements about the power of the federal courts to review the constitutionality of laws, with all but two of them supporting the idea.[14]

  15. 3/26 Background • Likewise, at the state ratifying conventions, over two dozen delegates in at least seven states indicated that under the Constitution, the federal courts would have the power to declare statutes unconstitutional.[15] Professors Saikrishna Prakash and John Yoo point out, with respect to the ratification of the Constitution, that "no scholar to date has identified even one participant in the ratification fight who argued that the Constitution did not authorize judicial review of Federal statutes. This silence in the face of the numerous comments on the other side is revealing."[16] • The concept of judicial review was discussed in the Federalist Papers. Alexander Hamilton asserted in Federalist No. 78 that under the Constitution, the federal courts would have not just the power, but the duty, to examine the constitutionality of statutes

  20. 3/31 • What results if the Supreme court declines to hear a case from a lower court? Do you feel that this pass on a review gives the previous case fair treatment?

  21. 3/31 Information • The U.S. Supreme Court announced Monday it would not hear a Pennsylvania school district’s appeal challenging student’s right to wear “I (heart) boobies” bracelets. The Supreme Court’s refusal to hear the case means the August 2013 ruling of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia will stand, marking a clear victory for students Brianna Hawk and Kayla Martinez. • During the Justices' regular conference, the Justices discuss the petitions, and grant certiorari in less than five percent of the cases filed. Recently, the number of cases granted has averaged well under 100 annually. Before each conference, the Chief Justice prepares a list of those petitions he believes have sufficient merit to warrant discussion.
