Seeing as I, president John Adams, am soon leaving office I will appoint you Mr. Marbury and your companion judges to maintain federalist power.
No Madison, you are forbidden from delivering those papers.
President Jefferson, should I deliver the appointment papers to Marbury and his men?
Madison and Jefferson are refusing to deliver our appointment Papers! We're going to petition the court for a writ of mandamas!
Do it John Marshall is a federalist in the Supreme Court, he'll support you.
For now I´m going to have to discuss it with the other Court members, but I will get back to you.
John Marshall we would like the Supreme court to issue a writ of mandamas so we can take our papers from Madison.
I say we give them the writ of madamas!
What are we going to do Marshall? It is our job to make sure justice is taken in the right direction.
No, the Constitution states that they must first visit a lower court. The Judiciary Acts of 1789 goes against the constitution!
The End
President Jefferson, it appears that the Judiciary Act of 1789 is unconstitutional. No one has the power to decide what the constitution means, but the Judicial Branch should.
Very well, but Marbury this also means that you will not be receiving your appointment papers.
