I can't make anything out of the picture itself, but the captions seem to pose criticism at the Supreme Court's rate of of unconstitutional ruling. Examples of cases where the Supreme Court has ruled uconstitutional are Marbury v Madison, Dredd Scott v Sanford, Plessy v Ferguson,  and Clinton v New York City

What are the judicial powers of the US Supreme Court and where does this power come from (specific documents)?

The supreme court initially in Article 3 Section 1 of the Constitution was given "[t]he judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish." 

Judicial Review was mentioned in the Federalist papers but never in the constitution, but it was established in Marbury v Madison.

They have the power to interpret the Constitution, and according to the rule of four, if four justices want to hear a case, it will be heard by the Supreme Court

As most of you know, I'm Victor, resident HHS senior. As this year comes to an end, I will document my endeavors in AP Gov over this blog, and will update regularly. I have blogged before, so I am familiar with the interface, but I prefer a notebook. However, I can see advantages with organization and neatness. These are mainly clarity of handwriting and ease of navigating posts with the blog timeline on the right.
