What are the judicial powers of the US Supreme Court and where does this power come from?
The Supreme Court has the ultimate say when determining constitutionality of laws and constitutional interpretation. Its power extends to all issues involving common law, equity, civil law, criminal law, and public law. The constitution states that the Supreme Court has the power of jurisdiction over cases involving: the constitution, laws, maritime authority, the US as a party, controversy between a state and a citizen of another state, issues between states/citizens of different states, issues between domestic and foreign citizens, and public ministers/ambassadors.
