I'm surprised right wingers don't want Marbury v. Madison overturned, seeing as they always cry about judicial activism and going against the will of the majority.

You have to wear your seatbelt when you operate a motor vehicle, it's communism I tell you, communism!
Well, one decision of the Supreme Court that was clearly wrong at the time it was made,and continues to be wrong today, is Hans v. Louisiana. Unfortunately I don't anticipate it will ever change.
Citizens United should probably go, for all the reasons already listed here. Ultimately I don't think the effect will be that great. Other than that, the modern Supreme Courts usually get it right.

I prefer to apply my energy, effort and money to the legislative and executive branches. That is how this government is structured. Don't like it? MOVE to another country or change the system given the constrains provided in the Constitution.
