Article III Section 2. The judicial power shall extend to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority.

This means the courts interpret the constitutionality of law - as the constitution is written. It does not empower them to re-interpret the constitution at will to cherry pick which laws they like and which they do not like. If any of the three branches of government should have the power to interpret the constitution it should be the legislative branch, not the judicial.
Thank God for disproportional force.

It is very clear, Stan. I cannot fathom why you don't understand what it says. To reiterate: Judicial power extends to all cases civil and criminal, including, 1. the Constitution 2. laws written by Congress 3. treaties The framers of the Constitution knew what they were doing. They specifically empowered the judiciary as a counterweight against a rubber-stamp legislature, an over-reaching executive, or both.
