That segregation of black and white schools is unconstitutional fun is it not :D A.S.Apex :)
there are about how mean justices on the Supreme Court.
The greatest
The federal Judicial Branch, consisting of the US District Courts, the US Court of International Trade, the US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts and the US Supreme Court can declare acts of Congress unconstitutional, but only if the act has already been signed into law and is relevant to a case before the court.The US Supreme Court is head of the Judicial Branch and is the ultimate authority on constitutionality.
Raised the temperature of the slavery debate, when the Supreme Court declared that the Constitution protected property, and slaves were property. Strictly this would mean that no state could declare itself to be free soil.
I am not sure what you mean by "act." There is no one act that applies here, but there is a procedure for determining whether a law is unconstitutional. It usually involves a challenge at the state level first. After that, the case is then taken to a district or federal court, and finally, it is taken up at the Supreme Court (assuming the Supreme Court decides to take the case; they do not take every case they are asked to review). But under our system of checks and balances, while a state's attorney general or an individual plaintiff from a state may challenge the constitutionality of a law (such as President Obama's health care law, or the Defense of Marriage Act), it is the Supreme Court that has the final say on whether a particular law is unconstitutional.
When a Supreme Court "dissents" it is disagreeing with the majority opinion.
It means that whatever the statue does violates a law or right already in the Constitution.
