The role of Supreme Court Justices under the Constitution

Antonin Scalia "you cannot delegate legislative authority" [to executive branch of government]

Federalist 45 - James Madison
"The powers delegated by the proposed constitution to the federal government, are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the state governments are numerous and indefinite."

Antonin Scalia "The same oath requires consideration of constitutionality for legislators and judges/courts."

Antonin Scalia "We never strike down any of your laws, we just ignore them...where your law does not comport with the constitution it seems to be a law that really isn't and so we ignore it and apply the rest of the law."
