Yeah Marbury v Madison found that congress can decide which cases SCOTUS reviews directly, vs where the authority of lower courts starts. But it’s not in conflict with the other principle from Marbury v Madison, that SCOTUS has the power to review whether laws are constitutional or not. If I understand correctly, at least.
Before Trump, the worst issue the growing authority of the court caused was a shift from Congress making major policy changes, to SCOTUS. Congress changing that could be a change for the better in the long run.
Didn’t they largely establish that power themselves through Marbury vs Madison in 1803?
That elevation / clarity of their authority wasn’t a massive problem until the last 10 or so years when they started going off the deep-end.
