This Senate Resolution, introduced in response to remarks suggesting the executive branch might disregard court decisions, aims to affirm the rule of law and the legitimacy of judicial review . It explicitly states that Article III of the Constitution vests the "judicial Power of the United States" in the Supreme Court and other federal courts, establishing their authority. The resolution further reinforces the landmark principle from Marbury v. Madison , asserting that it is "emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is." Crucially, it affirms that the Constitution and established precedent require the executive branch to comply with all Federal court rulings , underscoring the potential for a constitutional crisis if such decisions were ignored.
