This is especially troubling to me. Wasn't it the Supreme Court that came up with that doctrine? The US Supreme Court basically granted itself the ultimate authority to rule on what the constitution means even though this authority is not spelled out in the constitution. The US Supreme Court DOES NOT have final say on what the constitution states....it is We the People who have final say.

Yes, this bothered me also, plus didn't like the tone of the answer.  Just wanted other people thoughts on this issue.
