Judicial supremacy is the view that the judiciary, and in particular the Supreme Court, can do more than simply interpret law and can exercise legal authority that is superior to the legal authority of other branches of government and the states.
In 2007, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the court in criticizing and rejection the temptation for courts to exercise "judicial supremacy."[1]
