Does the Supreme Court get to dictate the meaning of the Constitution to the other branches of government? Are the decisions handed down the final law of the land?
Professor Ilan Wurman explains that the role of judicial review is to decide the legal facts in a particular case. Congress and the President, along with the judiciary, are tasked with upholding the Constitution. No single branch can be the ultimate authority to interpret the Constitution.
Ilan Wurman is a visiting assistant professor at the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at Arizona State University, where he teaches administrative law and constitutional law. He is the author of A Debt Against the Living: An Introduction to Originalism (Cambridge 2017).
As always, the Federalist Society takes no position on particular legal or public policy issues; all expressions of opinion are those of the speaker.
