Question

what does the constitution say about the supreme courts power of judicial review?

Answer 1

Best place to start would be the Judiciary Act of 1789, which was incorporated in the Constitution. See wiki. How much power or independence the Supreme Court should have has been hotly debated even before the ink on the Constitution had dried. It's still going on.

As a rule, conservatives want to limit the powers of the Supreme Court, particularly in overruling laws passed by Congress or Executive Orders. Liberals on the other hand support the independent power of the Supreme Court as part of the checks and balances system of a tri-partrate federal government. The idea that the Supreme Court should have this power started very early with the Marshall Court, and has prevailed for much of all American history. Ultraconservative legal minds, however, would like to go back to the very beginning and adopt ONE side of the argument that the original Founding Fathers were debating about this issue. They conveniently would like to dismiss the other side of the argument that was active at the time the US Constitution was being drafted.
