Brock: There’s nothing in the Constitution that says the Supreme Court gets the final say on matters of Constitutional interpretation.

The Constitution is the highest law in the land, but not the only law in the land.

The United States Judiciary Act of 1789 (1 Stat. 73) was a landmark statute adopted on September 24, 1789 in the first session of the First United States Congress establishing the U.S. federal judiciary. Article Three of the United States Constitution created the Supreme Court and gave Congress the power to establish inferior courts. It made no provision, though, for the composition or procedures of any of the courts, leaving this to Congress to decide.”
