Not true. As I mentioned above, Chief Justice Taney was the first one to use judicial review to overturn an act of Congress and he did it to defend slavery. Then in the first decades of the 20th century, the conservative Supreme Court used it to overturn several pro-labor laws passed by Congress. Others have already mentioned the Supreme Court’s opposition to FDR’s New Deal programs. It wasn’t until the second half of the 20th century that the Warren court took judicial review in a liberal direction for the first time.
Yet again *Marbury v. Madison * and a week later *Stuart v Laird * established judicial review - not Taney.
