Yeah, yeah, I know Marbury v. Madison "gave" them that power but it's odd to me that the SCOTUS, in a case, could say "Oh, by the way, we can say what the Constitution means." What justifies this, legally, morally, and constitutionally? I know in the Federalist Papers Hamilton/Madison said the SCOTUS ought to decide what the law means, but I still don't understand how you could fully justify it in any objective or "semi-objective" manner. Is it wrong for them to have this power?
Some help on understanding this would be appreciated.
