Episode description

Well, if you're the Supreme Court of the United States, you made yourself the Boss. And you did it more than 200 years ago, in the most important constitutional case in American history: Marbury v. Madison.

Our discussion of this remarkable case, and the remarkable story behind it, is long overdue. We've been waiting for just the right storyteller, and now we've found him: George Kuney of the University of Tennessee's College of Law.

Please join George and our host, Stewart Harris, as they talk about this fascinating case and the fascinating personalities behind it - James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, and, of course, John Marshall, the greatest Chief Justice the High Court has ever known. Indeed, since Marshall wrote the decision in Marbury, nothing's ever been the same.
