Would we really have all this fuss about the SCOTUS if we actually read the constitution and realize that Judical Review is a made up power?

No where in the constitution is the supreme court granted judicial review. They gave themselves that power with Malbury vs Madison

    If you are going to quote the case names of precedents at least get the names correct so others people can find and review them for themselves...... MARBURY vs MADISON.

    Ever heard of the term "checks and balances"? Congress is granted the power and duty to provide oversight, and to offer ADVICE and CONSENT before confirmation can move forward.

    A corporate-colluding right-wing libertarian anti-government (in an of, by, and for the people government, remember) has been the dangerous COUP-seeking goal of the fanatics-seized Republican party since at least the 1980s and Alzheimer's-afflicted Reagan ("DARK MONEY: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right" by Jane Mayer). The courts are funded by (and owned) by the American people, and our elected representatives in the Senate have taken an oath to confirm the impartiality, quality, judicial ethics and high standards of all judicial nominees. The Judicial branch of our three equal-branch government does not work for any President and is supposed to be nonpartisan---just interpreting the spirit and the intent of our founding fathers' foundational document, the U.S. Constitution and then upholding these Constitutional provisions..
