'''''Cooper v. Aaron''''', 358 U.S. 1 (1958), was an assertion by the [[Warren Court]] that the federal judiciary and the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] was "supreme in the exposition of the law of the Constitution."  This was a raw power grab by the Supreme Court of authority over the other two branches of government, as well as unnecessary to the resolution of the dispute in that case.

'''''Cooper v. Aaron''''', 358 U.S. 1 (1958), was a case in which the [[Little Rock]] school board tried to stop [[school desegregation]].  In deciding this, the [[Warren Court]] asserted that the federal judiciary and the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] was "supreme in the exposition of the law of the Constitution."  This went far beyond the Court's previous assertion in [[Marbury v. Madison]] that they merely had ''authority'' to exposit the Constitution.  Rather, it asserted the Supreme Court had authority over the other two branches of government, which was unnecessary to the resolution of the dispute in that case.
