[QUOTE="henschman, post: 1166194, member: 4235"] Could you point out to me where it says that the Supreme Court has the sole authority to interpret the Constitution? You know, James Madison, the "father of the Constitution," didn't believe the Supreme Court had that power... he wrote about it extensively in several of the Federalist papers, and he and Thomas Jefferson authored the first acts of nullification by the states in 1798. What you're thinking about is not "subject matter jurisdiction" -- it is called "the power of judicial review," and its not in the Constitution either. That comes from [I]Marbury v. Madison[/I], a Supreme Court case. I asked "who gave the Supreme Court the sole power to interpret the Constitution?" The answer is [I]The Supreme Court[/I]. Basically they claim they have the sole authority to interpret the Constitution because they say they do. [/QUOTE]
