Federal courts had little Constitutional power.
Adams will appoint Sec. of State John Marshall
(federalists), Supreme Court Chief Justice.
Supreme Court is a lifetime appointment, can
be removed through impeachment. *11 federal
judges have been impeached in 200+ years*
Marshall will rule that the Judiciary Act is
unconstitutional, thus giving the court the
power of “judicial review”
