Ben Carson: US should rethink Supreme Court review of laws
Famed neurosurgeon turned republican presidential candidate Ben Carson has stated that he believes that the United States should revisit it's decision from the 1803 case Marbury v. Madison.
Carson claims that the executive branch is required to carry out laws passed by congress, but not the "judicial laws" which emanate from the courts.
He believes that the landmark case that created the basis for the exercise of judicial review in the United States needs in itself to be reviewed.
The brain surgeon stated that the system of judicial review has drifted away from it's original intent and that the power given to the Supreme Court nowadays greatly outweighs that of the executive or legislative branches and throws off the system of "checks and balances."
