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
