Judicial power does NOT mean nullifying laws. THINK

It very well can mean that, can you not comprehend this? Not saying it does in this case, but it can when the situation dictates. Does it have to be explained to you in monosyllabic words, or do I need to just copy and paste the whole Constitution and the duties/powers of the Supreme Court here? The part that isnt laid out word for word, but is pretty evident if you bother absorbing the slightest bit of information, is that the Supreme Court can do just about anything it damn well pleases, and there is no body other than the Supreme Court itself that can overturn their decision. As an example, Cogress would have to open a Constitutional Convention and amend the Constitution itself in order to get around a Supreme Court ruling on a Constitutional matter.

Where does the constitution say any of that?. Granted, the SC is very powerful but that's because they GAVE themselves the power. The constitution does not give it to them. If states chose to, they could simply ignore the SC when it nullifies a state law . The founding fathers believed the states are above the feds. That's why they wrote the tenth amendment.
And Congress cannot by itself amend the constitution.!!! What a huge error on your part. Congress proposes an amendment and then the STATES must approve it by a 3/4 vote. You don't know anything.

Nothing in there about nullifying state laws. Nullifying laws is an extra-judicial process and the constitution never mentions it which means the FF gave the power to the states via the 10A. THINK
