Section 1
That the Senate affirms that— Article III of the Constitution of the United States vests the judicial Power of the United States . . . in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish; as Chief Justice Marshall held in the Supreme Court’s landmark 1803 decision Marbury v. Madison, It is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is; the Constitution of the United States and established precedent require the executive branch to comply with all Federal court rulings; and if the executive branch disagrees with a ruling by a Federal court, it may appeal that ruling when authorized by law.
