Then explain the phrase "appellate jurisdiction, both as to law and fact." And there is no more authoritative guide to understanding the Constitution than the Federalist Papers. If you're willing to dispense with the Federalist Papers, you're just reading the Constitution according to your own personal preferences and biases. Have fun with that. The rest of us will be busy rebuilding our nation. quote:
ORIGINAL: variation30 quote:
ORIGINAL: Lordandmaster Try Article III, Section 2: quote:
In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make. Oh and check out the Federalist #78 while you're at it. Thanks for playing, see Chip for your parting gift! um...judicial review isn't in 3.2. I'm reading and rereading 3.2 and I"ve yet to see where it says the supreme court can determine constitutionality. and by it being mentioned in the federalist papers, you are proving my point. the federalist papers are listing what they (hamiolton and madison) *want* to see happen...because it's not in the constitution. I will repeat that. they are arguing for it in the federlaist papers precisely because it is not in the constitution.
