I mean there's an irony inherent in the way the Supreme Court works in the modern American era: judicial review is not present anywhere in the Constitution, and yet the Supreme Court uses it to uphold or strike down law according to the Constitution. It's inherently a broken branch of government and it was a mistake for the Democrats to base the last 50-70 years of social progress on leveraging it.

This is patently false. Marbury vs. Madison based the principle of judicial review on English common law inherited at the founding.

Just because you say something with enough conviction does not make it true.

I wasn't aware that the Constitution, the document, was English common law. Again, judicial review as a power of the court is not defined within the body of the Constitution. If it is, quote it please, I'll be happy to acquiesce.

Indeed.
