Jefferson felt it was unjust for Adams to appoint these man on his last day in office since he lost the election, and the people had a right to have the new administration appoint judges. This was confirmed in a complicated Supreme Court case "Marbury vs. Madison." At least Justice John Marshall said that his court did not have the power to force Madison to supply the documents.
