sporting,
in a way he did answer your question.
SCOTUS is there to rule on the Constitutionality of actions by the Congress and the Executive branches. Checks and balances, pretty good design so far in our history, perhaps flawed at times, but better than a monarchy/oligarchy, no?
Would it be OK if the CIC didn't like men with black hair, freckles, and blue eyes (an Irishman perhaps) and refused to allow them to serve? The Supremes would likely overrule that command.

Perhaps you could illustrate your point with a quote from the Constitution.
Please don't cite the Marbury v Madison decision.
It appears to me that the Court has usurped power they were never intended to possess.
