The Constitution itself provides for the mooting of laws which are
repugnant
to the Constitition. It is the Supreme Court which makes rulings on
whether
or not laws violate the Constitution, or the rights of Citizens, whether
those Citizens are in the majority or minority, and whether the laws are
popularly-supported or not. Interpretation of the meaning of specific
clauses in the Constitution is also within the jurisdiction of the Supreme
Court.

Aside from your rather sloppy use of the word "provides," what does that
have to do with the price of beans?

(Hint re 1st phrase: the Constitution does not "provide" for judicial
review. Judicial the power of judicial review is an inference drawn by
Marshall in Marbury v. Madison from the document's use of the term
"judicial
power of the United States." Prior to Marbury there was respected opinion,
including that of Jefferson, that there was no such power of judicial
review.)

And Jefferson thought it was fine and dandy to own other people. Women in
most of America weren't allowed to own property in their own name if they
were married, and were generally considered to be the property or ward of
some man, somewhere. Your point is?
