I think I read that in First Things magazine. I went to their site but couldn't find it. But while there, I was reminded of a symposium they had in their October 1997 issue which analyzed and critiqued the Supreme Court term that had just ended. The symposium discussed establishment of religion cases and other morality cases the Court heard that term. The most bothersome case to me was the one where they invalidated the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which was passed by both houses of Congress by large majorities in 1993.

For some reason the symposium was perceived as controversial, so much so that Gertrude Himmelfarb retired from the editorial board in protest.

I heard a commentator yesterday say that Marbury v. Madison was virtually ignored in the last century. The guy quoted Andrew Jackson as saying, "Marshall made his decisions, lets see him enforce them." And he pointed out that Lincoln defied the Court several times.

C-Span's program is called Book Notes. : ) I have a book titled The Anti-Federalists, which I have only perused. All this ruckus is making me want to give it a careful reading. Thanks for the Green Papers link. Looks like there is a lot to go through there.
