A resolution affirming the rule of law and the legitimacy of judicial review.
This resolution (SRES 108) is a non-binding Senate statement affirming constitutional principles regarding judicial review. It specifically affirms that Article III establishes federal courts, cites *Marbury v. Madison* as establishing judicial review (where courts interpret the law), and states that the executive branch must comply with federal court rulings. The resolution responds to recent public remarks suggesting the executive branch could disregard court decisions. It does not change laws or affect any specific group; it is a symbolic declaration of support for the judiciary's role in the constitutional system.
