To quote from princeofcairo's The Complete Idiot's Guide to U.S. History Graphic Illustrated on Marbury v. Madison: "This court finds portions of the Judiciary Act of 1789 unconstitutional." "Your honor, I don't recall 'judicial review' appearing in the Constitution." "Oh, it's in there. Just look for it." "Seriously, your honor, *I* wrote the thing. It's not in there."
But to deny it now, more than two centuries later, is just being disingenuous.
