JUDICIAL REVIEW Tom DeLay seems to have some issues with Marbury v. Madison:

The reason the judiciary has been able to impose a separation of church and state that's nowhere in the Constitution is that Congress didn't stop them. The reason we had judicial review is because Congress didn't stop them. The reason we had a right to privacy is because Congress didn't stop them.

People who are passionate about this country, and passionate about the basic political framework we've inherited from the Founders--liberals, moderates and especially conservatives--need to join the debate about first principles that's currently going on, quietly, in Washington.

Let's hope the good guys (which in this case includes Chief Justice Rehnquist and just about everyone to his left) come out on top.
