520    "Thom Hartmann, the most popular progressive radio host in
       America and a New York Times bestselling author, explains 
       how the Supreme Court has spilled beyond its 
       Constitutional powers and how we the people should take 
       that power back.  Taking his typically in-depth, 
       historically informed view, Thom Hartmann asks, What if 
       the Supreme Court didn't have the power to strike down 
       laws? According to the Constitution, it doesn't. From the 
       founding of the republic until 1803, the Supreme Court was
       the final court of appeals, as it was always meant to be. 
       So where did the concept of judicial review start? As so 
       much of modern American history, it began with the battle 
       between the Federalists and Anti-Federalists, and with 
       Marbury v. Madison.  Hartmann argues it is not the role of
       the Supreme Court to decide what the law is but rather the
       duty of the people themselves. He lays out the history of 
       the Supreme Court of the United States, since Alexander 
       Hamilton's defense to modern-day debates, with key 
       examples of cases where the Supreme Court overstepped its 
       constitutional powers. The ultimate remedy to the Supreme 
       Court's abuse of power is with the people--the ultimate 
       arbiter of the law--using the ballot box. America does not
       belong to the kings and queens; it belongs to the people"-
